Is there some other >issue that I have overlooked? > SSPI comes in two flavors: A) :sspi:servercomputer:/repo B) :sspi:user at servercomputer:/repo In case A you never log in because you have not specified which user to log in. Instead the curretly logged on (domain) user on the workstation is assumed as the CVS user and his credetials are used transparently. No login. In case B you use cvs login and you get to type the user's domain password and then you are accepted (as that user) for CVS. Note that in this case the user and password are cached in the registry (HKCU hive) and will be reused whenever an operation is done towards the same CVSROOT. Only need for login once. You should test a command like this instead: cvs -d :sspi:jim.local.ranger.com:/test ls This should list the modules on the /test repository (probably just CVSROOT at the moment).
