Tony, Sorry to be so slow on this but I really cannot get this to work as it did before. I have in CVSROOT\passwd: user1::user1 ... which I thought meant CVS user1 maps to user1 on the CVS server (locally created Windows login id) ? With the above syntax I could impersonate user1 if I knew the Windows login password: cvs -d :pserver:user1 at rdseven:F:/wincvs/repository login < enter Windows password > This is what no longer works - i get: CVS password: < enter Windows password > Fatal error, aborting. cvs [login aborted]: rdseven: no such user I have "Use local users for pserver authentication instead of domain users" NOT CHECKED becuase I need to have entries in CVSROOT\passwd of the form: fredblogs:!RDIT (RDIT is a Windows domain name) I have also tried changing CVSROOT\config 1) #SystemAuth= 2) SystemAuth=yes 3) SystemAuth=no ... is this parameter still used or is it overriden by service settings ? Can you help ? You assert that nothing has changed between releases but this worked pre-upgrade and is now defintely not working. Are there some new new config settings somewhere that I have not got due to having an exisitng CVS repository ? How would you set up CVSNT 2.0.51d to allow: 1) Domain authentication for most users (they are logging in with either sspi (implicit login) or pserver (explicit login) protocols) 2) local Windows or CVS server authentication - I don't mind which as long as I can administer these passwords on the CVS server somehow... Any help much appreciated.... -Richard. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Hoyle [mailto:tmh at nodomain.org] Sent: 13 September 2004 12:54 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Re: CVSNT : can I mix domain users & local users ?

You can't use domain syntax in workgroup mode (which is what this flag enables). You probably don't want this in your case. > 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. 2.0.38 would have had this warning as it was added a long time ago. All users must at least alias to a real system user otherwise they won't be able to log in. > Even if I create user1 as a local windows user on server1 I cannot pserver > login as user1... You should create user1 as a user on the domain if you want to log in, or alias them to a user on the domain (your choice). This is unchanged from 2.0.38 though.... Tony
