I am using cvsnt 2.5.02 (Servlan) Build 2088 on linux for my server. CVSNT 2.5.02 (Servlan) Build 2064 on my windows clients and using both WinCvs and TortoiseCVS. We are using the sspi protocol, and so far all is working well. Our developers use Eclipse (3.0.1), and MyEclipse (3.8.3), and really want to integrate it into cvs. I have read much about this, and have tried in various ways, but have always hit problems. I have the following questions. 1. I think that is is necessary to set (in /etc/cvsnt/PServer): Compat0_OldVersion=1 Is this the only server setting that must be modified? What functionality do I lose by doing this? ...things that WinCVS and/or Tortoise might have problems with. Will this be maintained into the future? Can I change this flag mid-stream for a repository?....i.e. does it change the way things are stored in the repository, or only the way the server interacts with the client? 2. I modified my extnt.ini as follows [slcp3esgcvs01] protocol=sspi hostname=slcp3esgcvs01 directory=/cvsrepo This allowed me to use the ext protocol in eclipse, but it would create a cvsroot like :ext:mjohnso2 at slcp3esgcvs01:/cvsrepo. This required me to use cvs login because my username is included. I do not know if I can make eclipse not include my username. I assume that cvsnt was converting the actual protocol to sspi, but I'm not sure about that. Is there a way to know for sure? If it is using sspi, is there a way to make cvsnt ignore the username, or remove it before communicating with the server? 3. If my CVSROOT is :ext: instead of :sspi:, but my extnt.ini is modified to use sspi, then shouldn't WinCVS work the same way? If so, it there a way to do the same with Tortoise (it uses it's own cvs.exe, and I don't see an extnt.ini file)? I realize some of these questions are eclipse/WinCVS/TortoiseCVS related, but I had to start somewhere, and the main questions are cvsnt related. Thanks for any and all help you can give me. Mark
