problem connecting to cvsnt

[vincent j. buonassisi]

hi,

i installed tkcvs on my windows 7 computer.  i set  CVSROOT = :sspi:domain/username@hostname:/cvsrep.  when i try to checkout a module from cvs i get a dialog that says:

child killed: unknown signal

i'm also having problems going into a cvs working directory.  i get the following error:

can't read "species": no such variable
can't read "species": no such variable
    while executing
"gen_log:log D "Split: $species $version""
    (procedure "cvs_version" line 28)
    invoked from within
"cvs_version"
    (procedure "read_cvs_dir" line 13)
    invoked from within
"read_cvs_dir  "
    (procedure "cvsroot_check" line 10)
    invoked from within
"cvsroot_check "
    (procedure "setup_dir" line 42)
    invoked from within
"setup_dir"
    (procedure "change_dir" line 14)
    invoked from within
"change_dir "$file""
    (procedure "workdir_edit_file" line 16)
    invoked from within
"workdir_edit_file "
    (command bound to event)

can tkcvs work w/ sspi protocol?

thanks,
vince

I don't know if it works with sspi or not - I've never tried it.  But the error you report looks fixable, if I can find out what it's trying to parse.  What output do you get if you run "cvs -v" on the command line?
