I've been successfully using a (recent) cvsnt for a couple of months now, and have just started to use keyword substitution in text files. Something I've noticed is that the author field in the text files is always filled in as "Guest". I'm using SSPI to do the connection, and I have the server set to use the Windows usernames and passwords, rather than having a seperate passwd file. When I first connect to the server to check out a project on a new machine, I am prompted for a username and password, and have to supply details that are valid on the server. I never log in as "guest". Subsequent updates and commits using either WinCVS or Tortoise, even following a reboot of the machine, do not require an explicit logon as long as I use the same directory and the cvs subdirectory is not removed. Is this behaviour normal, or do I have a misconfigured cvsnt server that will allow malicious people easy access? I've not dug out and included version numbers, since this seems to be a general config issue. -- Dr. Craig Graham, Software Engineer Advanced Analysis and Integration Limited, UK. http://www.aail.co.uk/
