Does anyone have any comments > on this and/or links to instructions for use? sserver is just like pserver except the entire session is encrypted. sspi also works over the internet and can be forced to encrypt. With remote clients the issue is local storage of the password - this can be helped somewhat by using the cvsnt password agent instead of using cvs login.. depends on how secure your clients need to be of course.
