CVS Workshop 8.1 help

Question

Hi all,
I came to know that the problem is the version of the CVSNT and cvs.exe that
is available to Workshop through the environmental variable.
It is mandatory that we have to add cvs.exe to OS PATH. So that the workshop
will launch this process.
This will solve the problem of create process.
But with problems that I faced, I understand that workshop is specific to
particular version of "cvs.exe"
Now, I am able to access the CVS server from workshop but not with
"ntserver" protocol. I am using "sspi" protocol.
I tried with "pserver" too, it works fine.
So I need to know which version of "cvs.exe", the developers are suppose to
use.
Points to remember while configuring workshop with CVS.
1. correct "cvs.exe" should be in the PATH variable
2. Don't use "ntserver" protocol.
3. Use "pserver" or "sspi" ( I tested both. Works fine )
4. "pserver" protocol requires that the user should be logged in before
doing a cvs operation.
5. To be functional , cvs module should be imported and check out before
opening workshop. There is no built in method to import and check out from
Workshop.
6. If want to customize workshop with cvs commands, CVSROOT variable should
be defined before you launch the Workshop.
Hope this is help full to all.
Karthi.

I also can not seem to find a way to configure the CVSROOT parameter to connect to CVS? Your right, it doesn't appear that there is a location to put the password for the CVS login! I get the following error:
commit starting...
Caught exception: CreateProcess: cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/gewt_portal commit -l -m a C:\bea\user_projects\applications\portalApp\portalWebApp\Controller.jpf error=2
commit finished.
with the following cvs root configured:
:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/gewt_portal[att1.html]
