I'm using that setup now--although I've never set up a cvs-specific passwd file, and I'm able to authenticate against my server no problem. I am, however, a Linux novice so I don't have any explanation on why it works. I believe cvsnt is authenticating against the server normally and only if you want non-Linux users to authenticate would you need to set up a separate passwd file. So my advice would be just try it! System authentication seems to work on a Linux server about the same as it does on an NT server, I would imagine you could disable that behavior with "SystemAuth=No" in the config file. >Is there a way to use sspi or ntserver against a Samba server?
