Your CVSROOT should be ":pserver:domain\\username at host:/test" to use
pserver with credentials for domain\username on machine host in
repository test. There is some support for SSPI on the Linux client now
also -- works for me just substituting :pserver: with :sspi:, and others
will work too (although I don't know the list offhand--sserver should,
others??).
.bash_profile could then include a line like:
export CVSROOT=:sspi:domain\\username at host:/test
Or, in your case:
export CVSROOT=:sspi:RND\\fadeev at host:/c//CVS
If all you users are from the same domain then I think you can set a
default domain that pserver et. al. will use for authentication, but I
don't recall how at the moment.
I'm using RedHat 9 for the CVS client and XP Pro as server in these
tests. Normally I work the other way around. My Linux box is much more
reliable than XP... to be fair though I do abuse my XP box a lot more :)
