installation login problem

[Cal McPherson]

Hi,

    I'd like to post a problem I'm having with the Windows command line cvs.exe installation.  I have done the following already:

1. added cvs.exe to C:/cvs/bin and added this bin to PATH

2. set CVSROOT environment variable to :pserver:address@hidden:/cvs

 

Then when I try to login to the netbeans server the following happens

 

 > cvs login

Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/cvs

CVS password:

cvs login: failed to open Z:\ /.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory

cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting

 

Is there more the installation process than simply copying the exe to a bin directory and setting up a few environment variables?

We are using Samba here so I logon to windows through Samba and my windows environment is located on the Z drive(linux home directory).  From the output above I get the impression that cvs.exe is attempting to treat this as a unix file(the forward slash in Z:\ /.cvspass).
