However, SSPI was also meant for integrated logins--so I don't know if it would meet your "don't want a user acct per person" requirement. Perhaps someone else can help out there. Here's how to get SSPI working: --Make sure SSPI works locally to the server first (seen this topic plenty of times before). --Open a port on the incoming firewall to the server so that the CVS port (2401) is allowed to the CVSNT server. This is firewall-dependent. --The users will need to use :sspi:username at server:/repos to connect (and do a "cvs login" to set up the password)--the username is required when going through firewalls, from what I've read.

The other thing is, I dont know how to configure it for sspi. I mean, will sspi work with WinCVS and TortoiseCVS clients? Most of the developers use those two clients, others use other clients ofcourse... I just want to make the dam thing work. Will it work with SSPI? Also, I dont want to have a windows 2000 user account for each user on the cvs... well if it works ill go for it, but i had bad experience with windows 2000 accounts management....
