This is the 'problem'. H:\>cvs -d :sspi:david at caxton:/test ls Listing modules on server CVSROOT H:\>cvs -d :sspi:david at caxton:/turnip ls cvs [ls aborted]: Authentication protocol rejected access H:\>cvs -d :sspi:david at caxton:/potato ls cvs [ls aborted]: Authentication protocol rejected access H:\>cvs -d :sspi:caxton:/test ls Listing modules on server CVSROOT H:\>cvs -d :sspi:caxton:/turnip ls Listing modules on server CVSROOT H:\>cvs -d :sspi:caxton:/potato ls Listing modules on server CVSROOT as you can see, I've got three root repositories, test, turnip, and potato. (well, what else would you call your test roots!) I can always get at test. turnip and potato only work when I *omit* my username(and I am currently logged in under that username) I get the feeling that "test" is being handled as a special case within cvsnt ;-) Also: cvs -d :sspi:david at caxton:/turnip ls takes about 1 second to respond but cvs -d :sspi:caxton:/turnip ls (and turnip and potato) takes about 8 seconds to respond. If I use WinCVS to access these roots, it works just fine (and the username is given). Also, it works in about 1 second to do a "ls". The really strange thing is that WinCVS is executing the same cvs.exe that I'm using from the command line, but its behaving differently. Cheers, David
