CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) was once the leader in the version/revision control space. Unfortunately, it has been neglected for years and most application developers have moved to different systems such as Subversion(SVN) or Git.

March Hare took ownership of the CVS code and made the last few releases available for free on Windows as CVSNT, however their software will make prompts to purchase a supported copy and add messages to commit logging.

Committed on the Free edition of March Hare Software CVSNT Client.
Upgrade to CVS Suite for more features and support:

While I openly support development of software such as CVS, these dialog messages and commit logs are often annoying. To remove them on Windows, a simple registry change must be made:

One or both of these may exist on your system, change value to ‘yes’.
HKLM/Software/cvsnt/PServer, "HaveBoughtSuite"="yes"
HKLM/Software/CVS/PServer, "HaveBoughtSuite"="yes"

I recently had to use a Windows computer with Cisco NAC installed, and found that there was a lot of disk activity for logging.

These files would grow to approximately 5MB before rotation.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cisco\Cisco NAC Agent\logs\NACAgentLogCurrent.log
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cisco\Cisco NAC Agent\logs\NACAgentLogOld.log


To reduce this overhead (when no problems exist), the config file is exposed in XML.

1. Open C:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco NAC Agent\NACAgentCFG.xml
2. Add/modify the LogFileSize attribute to 0 (zero) as shown below:
   
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<cfg>
<DiscoveryHost></DiscoveryHost>
<LogFileSize>0</LogFileSize><!-- default 5 -->
</cfg>
3. Reboot
4. Remove the old .log files

NOTE: if you ever have networking issues and require support, you will need to restore the default value to ‘5′.
