If you access the linux server eg. by mapping a network share, then Windows will cache your credentials internally. The same is true of cross-domain/out of domain stuff.. if Windows can access it, then sspi can. It depends on your work habits - if you access the server/domain regularly windows is very likely to know how to authenticate with it anyway, so cvs login is unnecessary in that case. If you're completely outside (eg. on a VPN with no share access) then login is used. Tony
