You make the cvs server run under a user account with enough rights (LocalSystem has no network rights) then use sspi. pserver *can* work provided the username and password match a real user on the system (you need a recent cvsnt for this.. 66 or 68 should be fine). YMMV, though, and it's largely untested. Generally why we discourage use over network shares is Netbios (and NFS under Unix) have a history of causing strange errors with cvs repositories. If you're using a system that can guarantee that file locking, concurrent access, etc. will work correctly then it might work. As far as Active Directory is concerned, I can't help with configuring it, but you need to get delegation rights assigned to the account the cvs server runs as (& probably the machine & domain, as I mentioned earlier, although I'm no AD expert). sspi already requests delegation, but doesn't check whether it actually gets it.
