Hi All, Apolagies if this is a RTFM question. But I have R'd the M - and I am still not sure I understand how cvsnt authenication is currently working on windows. We are planning to move to linux - and I just need to have this issue clear. We have been using cvsnt (1.11.13) for about 3 years, using pserver, and using a passwd file with blank passwords - but using our NT usernames. as an example user DOMAIN\smithj was smithj: Now, more recently, I have discovered that (using tortoisecvs), I can authenticate (still using pserver) using my nt password (for domain NT account) How exactly is authentication performed in CVSNT? I cant seem to reconcile the documentation against what I am seeing. 1) does the nt authentication only work if using cvsnt client (ie tortoise)? (I am pretty sure our intellij users are also using their domain passwords..) 2) is the passwd file required at all if using nt authentication with pserver? Now, we are planning to move our server to a new linux (redhad AS) server. Is the passwd file the recommended approach on linux (we prefer admin simplicity over tight security)? Will NT auth work on linux? Thanks. -Nick This message and any attachments (the "message") is intended solely for the addressees and is confidential.
