Unfortunately we have no choice. The hosted machine cannot have a login account for every user so aliasing and pserver are the only option. It's not my first choice of setups, but I can only do what the PHBs tell me to do.

Richard, If there is any trust at all between the CVSNT server box and the domain controller / active directory then you are better not using RunAsUser and not using PSERVER. PSERVER is insecure, particularly if the clients are Windows based then you are better using SSPI. http://march-hare.com/cvspro/security.htm Please supply exact error messages, version numbers (CVSNT client/server, Windows etc) and a trace (cvs -ttt) for any bug reports. http://march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq2.asp#2z Regards, Arthur Barrett -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org on behalf of Richard Coad at HQ x4263 Sent: Wed 10/26/2005 5:40 AM To: 'cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook' Cc: Subject: [cvsnt] What Rights are Needed by CVS-NT RunAsUser? I am attempting to get CVS NT configured on a managed Windows 2003 box. Since it is a managed box, we want to restrict login accounts and use the cvs passwd aliasing facility to alias cvs account names to the single Windows user "cvsuser". I've tested this out on my local box and it works fine. On the managed server, however, I get an error message from CVS that the account "cvsuser" (or domain\cvsuser) does not exist. If I login to the managed server and run the command shell, I can successfully checkout just using "cvs co CVSROOT" but if I use the pserver settings it fails with the same message about "cvsuser" not existing. The only thing I can think of is that the "cvsuser" account has been created with insufficient rights. What is the minimum required to have pserver aliasing work? Thanks.
