You shouldn't need to set up a PDC, but (off topic) domains are a Good Thing for account administration. And you shouldn't have to use IP addresses--host names should be fine. If you can PING a name, then you should be able to use that host name for the CVSROOT setting. My understanding on the passwd file as it relates to sspi is not the same as what Bo stated. I am not using a passwd file with sspi, it is not necessary. Try this: Assuming SERVER and CLIENT are the machines, and that you have identically named + password accounts USER across the servers. on SERVER --Verify CVSNT service is started: NET START | find /i "cvs" (should see an entry for CVSNT) on CLIENT at a cmd prompt: --"PING SERVER" (should get replies) --"TELNET SERVER 2401" and press ENTER (should get an error message from CVS server) --"cvs -d :sspi:USER at SERVER:/test login" then enter password and press ENTER at CVS password: prompt (should get nothing if repository /test exists, or warning if it doesn't). It's really easy to set up!

Ill have to either setup a PDC or use pserver. thanks for the reply Mike Alexandre Augusto Drummond Barroso 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----- [snip] _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
