Disregard Mallesh, My experience with this guy is that he is asking a lot but never reading or using any of the advice he is getting.

Mallesh, how much of the documentation on CVSNT have you read? 1) SSPI uses Windows integrated authentication, i.e. it uses the logged-on user's Windows account. You should not be doing anything with CVS's passwd file as it is not used in this case. 2) CVSROOT settings for SSPI are of the form :sspi:hostname:repositoryname - for example :sspi:citrix1:SVCS - you have a semicolon (;) in there instead of the colon (:). 3) You should probably set up repository prefixes instead of specifying pathnames on the server. See the docs. 4) That path looks horribly like you're storing your CVS data files on your Citrix server's program files filestore, although I may have that wrong. Pretty much any system administrator or reference on sysadmin will tell you to separate your programs from your data, for at least security and backup reasons. If you haven't already separated your data, I'd suggest doing so. - Peter _______________________________________________ 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
