WinCVS kept spitting at me

This morning WinCVS nearly made me pull every hair out my head. I kept getting this stupid message everytime I tried to do something on a checked out sandbox in my home directory:

cvs log: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password

cvs [log aborted]: authorization failed: server [blah] rejected access to [blah blah] for user [blah]

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

The funny thing is though other modules were ok. It was only one particular module. I upgraded to WinCVS 2.0 and it kind of looked ok but boom - there it was again. Googled for it and found many people had similar issues on NT and Win Server boxes. Anyway one guys suggested that it might be because of an already checked out sandbox that you are trying to do something and something has got screwed up.

To make the long story short - I renamed the diretory and checked out the module again and Voila - it worked. Funny thing this WinCVS - we will never know why it ever happened. Anyway I have to get back to fixing some bugs and committing them. Catch you all later.
