There are several possible solutions:
1. Use client which is compatible with your server.
You need to configure plug-in to use CVS client (CVS.exe) from either
WinCVS, Tortoise or better CVS NT distribution. This can be done on "CVS
Executables page" of plug-in configuration. You need to switch on checkbox
"Use specified" and point to CVS.exe location. For more details check this
page:

2. Use CVS in client-server mode
Currently you use CVS in client-fileshare mode. I.e. cvs.exe directly
modifies repository, being client and server in the same time. This is
enough dangerous because:
a. Accessing repository from very old client may just destroy it.
b. Known problem accessing repository as network share.
When you access your CVS NT repository via normal network protocol (:sspi:
:pserver: ...) you not directly access repository, it is accessed by server
software. So you'll have less potential problems.

I use CVSNT 2.5.3.2151 and WinCVS. Repository is in local disk -
C:\Repository
The WinCVS and TortoiseCVS work OK.

I installed the SourceConneXion 2.1.11 for BCB 5 and PushOK CVS SCC Proxy
NT, Version 2.0.6.
When I try to add my projects to Source Control, I get errors in defining
CVSROOT
My CVSROOT is "c:\repository" and error is "[version aborted] Couldn't
authenticate with lock server: FAIL Case insensitive locks no longer
supported."

Any solutions?
