I might add to the below that there is in fact a possibility for using the cvs login with SSPI. This is done like this: 1) Set the cvsroot to :sspi:user at server:/repository or in your case :sspi:kalifeh at 137.82.2.80:/test 2) Now issue a cvs login command from the client and fill in the password dialogue with the Windows password of that user. Note that the passwd file does not store any passwords in the sspi case, it simply acts as a filter to tell which logins are allowed to use CVS. And this only holds true fore some authentication settings (don't remember how to set these). Anyway, with the user at server setting for sspi it is possible to act as another user than the logged on user when dealing with the CVS server. But the user you disguise yourself as must still be a valid system user on the server, either locally or on the domain. /Bo On Mon, 31 Mar 2003 19:52:33 -0300, "Alexandre Augusto Drummond Barroso" <adrummond at bdmg.mg.gov.br> wrote: >What do you mean by local user?

Usually a PDC (Primary Domain Controller) authenticates a user as being a valid network user (not a local user) if you login to the domain. Because of this situation, you don't need valid passwords inside your passwd: CVSNT will never use them with SSPI connections. It only checks passwords when connected through pserver or rhosts. >Using SSPI when you issue a command to the cvs server, it authenticates your *Windows* connection and checks if your login name exists inside passwd file. > >Cheers, > >Xandao. > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Mike [mailto:kalifeh at hotmail.com] >> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 7:27 PM >> To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org >> Subject: [cvsnt] Newbie: remote login with sspi >> >> >> Hi, >> >> Ive set up cvsnt on one computer running winXP and its >> working fine with >> sspi for local users.
