Although it would be nice to get the cygwin cvs to work OOTB as a server, is there any real reason to fight with it? The WinCVS/CVSNT combination work just fine (I am using that for our webservers now). I can check out the files using cygwin cvs on the local machine using PServer. I am also using the NTServer Authentication from within my favorite editor (MultiEdi) with a SCC emulator called Jalindi-Igloo. It is all very slick.
