Hi, You don't need to specify the username. The username is taken as the user logged. If you want to do any actions against some other user, then only you need to use that userid and you need know the password. Once entered, it won't prompt you for the password again unless you clear the passwords by using password agent.

For instance, on the windows clients I have set my CVSROOT environment variable to this: :sspi:cvserver:/project (project is the main repository I am using) And when a workstation user (say joe) types in the "cvs login" command his connection to the CVS server is established with the following settings: :sspi:joe at cvserver:/project This is great BUT THEN I still get prompted for my domain password on each CVS login attempt. What I would really like is to surpress this password prompt some way (so a user doesn't get asked to put their domain password in each time they want to login to a CVS repository). Ideally I would like the CVS client to supply this domain password 'automatically' like the CVS client supplies the domain username 'automatically' during the login process (without having to explicitly state it). In short, I just want to be able to connect to a CVS server and have my domain username and password supplied automatically for a cvs login transaction... I have only just started on this project, so if need be, I would be open to changing CVS clients or otherwise if it is going to help me achieve this objective. Thanks for any help! _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs ********************************************************* Disclaimer: The contents of this E-mail (including the contents of the enclosure(s) or attachment(s) if any) are privileged and confidential material of MBT and should not be disclosed to, used by or copied in any manner by anyone other than the intended addressee(s).
