KM,

And it caries again depending on the client software.  Eg: if you are using 
WinCVS, TortoiseCVS or anything else that uses the CVSNT client then it will 
depend on the CVSROOT which you used to create the sandbox.

Eg:
- named user:  :pserver:address@hidden:/myrepo 
- current user:   :pserver:myhost:/myrepo 

We always recommend you create the sandboxes using the 'current user' method - 
then many people can 'share' a sandbox and when each 'commits' it's their 
'logged in name' that gets used no the name of the person who created the 
sandbox.

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
