I am installing CVSNT (2.0.58d) on a Linux server (RHEL 3.0), and trying
to determine the best authentication method.  All our clients will be
using Windows 2K or XP, and we are using Active Directory for our
windows network.  Can I set up CVSNT to use this?  (or is that more a
function of configuring the Linux box to use the active directory
authentication first, then cvsnt will do it by default).  Will this
allow me to restrict shell access to the repository while still allowing
cvs client access from remote workstations?  Which authentication method
is required to use active directory?  Does anyone know where to point me
for how to set this up.  I have checked the archives, and have found
very little.
 
I am converting a project from another high priced scm system to cvsnt,
and want it to go smoothly, so I'm trying to understand the various
decisions I need to make during the process.
 
Thanks in advance for your replies and help
