Thanks Glen, that got it to work. Does anyone know of a Linux GUI interface
that can be integrated on top of the cvsnt client and be maid to work with
the SSPI protocol?

Thanks,
Curtis Lehman

You need the *cvsnt* Linux client, which isn't the same as the one that
comes bundled with most Linux installs.  The CVSHome.org CVS doesn't
understand SSPI (even recent builds don't).  There's a page that tells
you how to set it up under Linux.  Note though that for client-only, you
don't need to worry about most of what is in that document.  The
abbreviated instructions for client only would be:

        Remove old cvs client (to avoid confusion)
        Download and untar cvsnt source
        ./configure
        make
        make install

...and you can forget about all the server-listening stuff (e.g.
Lockserver, xinetd.d / init.d).  Then you should be good to go.
