Hi, we are using the sspi protocol for our CVSNT access with 'SystemAuth = Yes' so that we don't have to do a separate login to CVS. In the near future our system login ids are going to be changed to an unidentifiable (from the point of view of putting a user's name to the id) string of letters and digits. I'm after a way of setting up 'aliases' for the user ids so that the 'Author' field in the output of the log command, the $Author:$ keyword, etc. will still have peoples names. From what I can determine from the documentation on the wiki you can use the passwd file with sspi (and 'SystemAuth' set to 'No') to control who accesses the repository. It also appears that you can alias a cvs username to a system username by using the 'cvs passwd -r real_user cvs_user' command. Is using the passwd file with aliases but no passwords the way to get what I want? Access using sspi, without having to do a separate login to CVS, and peoples names rather than unidentifiable strings. Thanks Andy.
