Weird errors with CVS

I just got a few very weird errors when updating a cvs checkout of Horde. See for yourselves:

# cvs up
cvs [update aborted]: cannot get working directory: No such file or directory


After lots of scratching I figured that the cause is hidden in the fact that a parent directory is mounted with "-o bind". After changing to the original, non-bound directory, it worked fine.

Update: Lots of other stuff also breaks with -o bind -- For example /bin/pwd. Very annoying.

It sounds (and is) pretty simple, but what it does in the background is caches your Microsoft Account credentials. Since your local user account had no password, it wasn’t eligible for RDP use even if it has appropriate permissions otherwise. After supplying the password and pressing Enter, you’ll know it worked if you see the About Windows dialog box open. Go ahead and close it and the...
