In general, you can still do this if you want. Change your local CVSROOT to :sspi:localhost:/test to allow you access using your NT credentials. Typically I believe the first pserver entry in a "pserver-only" setup without using the NT user database would be done using the :local: protocol. As an alternative, you can use :pserver:cvsuser at localhost:/test then make sure you do a cvs login first. E.g.: cvs -d :pserver:cvsuser at localhost:/test login Regards, -- Glen Starrett
