Tony, Thanks for your reply... but I cannot get the behaviour I want since moving from 2.0.38 to 2.0.51d. There is a flag in control panel Advanced tab "Use local users for pserver authentication instead of domain users" and this seems to stop the syntax I was using in passwd from working in the 2 cases.... before upgrade, I could: cvs passwd -a user1 [ specify password twice ] this now creates a warning: cvs server: *WARNING* CVS user 'cn-user' will not be able to log in until they are aliased to a valid system user. password has new line: user1:<encrypted password> I could (pre upgrade) run this: cvs -d :pserver:user1 at server1:/path login [ specify password ] but now I get: Fatal error, aborting. cvs [login aborted]: server1: no such user Even if I create user1 as a local windows user on server1 I cannot pserver login as user1... To login as user1 I have to change that advanced setting to use local users then my normal developer logins that are setup to use the domain like this: dev-user-1:!DOMAIN ... FAIL Hence my email... pre upgrade this all worked so I really think something has changed between 2.0.38 and 2.0.51d. If you have a workaround so that I can have: 1) Most users using sspi or pserver (their choice) and being authenticated via a windows domain controller 2) A couple of 'users' being authenticated locally on the CVS server ... I would be most interested to hear! thanks, -Richard. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Hoyle [mailto:tmh at nodomain.org] Sent: 13 September 2004 10:08 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] Re: CVSNT : can I mix domain users & local users ?

Assuming you're using pserver then this will work in exactly the same way as before. It never worked for sspi. Tony
