I am attempting to setup cvsnt on a machine running win2k server. All clients will be on windows machines - some on my LAN and some over the internet. I have setup the passwd file so that cvs usernames are aliased to valid domain users, however, I am getting authentication errors when attempting to connect via the sspi protocol. When I change to pserver it works but, from what I'm reading, this is not desirable for connections over the internet. Thus far, I am only having success with the sspi protocol when I use a valid system username. Will I need to setup all of my cvs users with system accounts? Thanks for any help!
