Hello Oliver,
thank you very much for your fast answer. Here are the answers to
your questions, and a little bit more ...

>>>>>>>>>>>A CVSROOT is set to :local:c:/cvsrepo where the Project
files are (repositories and modules). Is this right? In an other
document I read that the environment variable must be set
to :ntserver:<computername>:<the repository e. g. /Test>
But we don't understand that - whats happening with more than one
Repository?
>>>>>>>>>>One last question: Is it right, that you can define user
roles with NT user groups. We'd like to seperate users: one group is
allowed to change e .g. the "Admin Options" log entries - other users
are not allowed to do that. Do I need only the user roles?
