It's much better to just let the default authentication handle it. eg. if you're on a laptop for example, which commonly isn't logged into the domain, if you use foo at server, you'll actually be trying to log into LAPTOP\foo at server, which is not going to work. Once domain trusts get involved it gets even more complicated... If you let the SSPI negotiation handle it internally it'll log you in using its already cached credentials for the server, so it's a lot less error prone. Also, don't use cvs login with sspi unless you absolutely have to.. the system already has your credentials. Tony
