My view of the SSPI root is this: CVSROOT=:sspi:server:/Repo This format will reuse the Windows logon information to acces the CVSNT server. If your local user is not acceptedf on the server then what you should have done is: CVSROOT=:sspi:user at server:/repo (You should NEVER EVER!!!!! embed your *password* into the CVSROOT string!!!! It will be saved in the clear in the control files in the CVS subdirs! And it serves no purpose explicitly spelling out port 2401 either since that is the default one used when nothing is entered here. After you have set the CVSROOT as follows CVSROOT=:sspi:domain\username at MelDmeCVSXP:/Doc95 you execute (ONCE ONLY!) the command "cvs login" and enter the proper password. If you are accepted then the password is securely stored for future use in encrypted form in your HKCU part of the registry. >Where > domain = 80-20 > username = bpost > password = passsword for 80-20 domain > MelDmeCVSXP is connected to our coporate 80-20 domain. > My machine is connected to another domain DmeRnD.com which is our 3 tier >development domain controllers.
