Hello, You wrote a few months ago: We're using gserver (with CVS 1.11.1.3) from a Debian/Unstable box onto a Win2K Active Directory, which of course works fine. What has changed in the move to 2.0 that might have broken it? I can devote a small amount of time to fixing trivial things. For us, it's very convenient; we have a single sign-on network using Active Directory on Windows and LDAP / Kerberos / Samba 3.0 on Linux. I would hate to have to move SCM systems to something less capable. Jon. I am new in the SCM world and I have a few questions regarding your post. It can help me a lot if you could answer them. 1) Are you still using the same SCM system ? 2) I would like to have a CVSNT repository on a Linux box and allow some users to access it from their Win2k workstations without having to enter any new passwords. Did you have the same purpose ? 3) You need Samba to use the Windows authentication mechanism, isn't it ? 4) Is Kerberos necessary if your Linux box cannot be accessed from the outside ? 5) For LDAP, did you only do the following (as explained in the CVSNT wiki) ? 1.7.1. Active Directory Authentication Assuming you have already set up Samba for Active Directory authentication using the winbind daemon, you can make CVSNT do likewise by adding the file /etc/pam.d/cvs with the contents #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so Also ensure that you do not have SystemAuth=no in your CVSROOT/config file. Thank you in advance, Jonathan
