The CVSNT control panel has: SUPERSPEEDY\Vitali Lovich which is my admin account (single PC machine). In the services.msc snap-in, it has the CVS server set to run as Local System with desktop interaction (basically, the CVS server runs at the same permission level as a System process - when I look in the task manager, it's registered under the SYSTEM user, not Vitali Lovich). Currently, I fell back to using the chacl built-in command as a workaround because I need this right now. I want to use NTFS permissions because the implication that I got from the FAQ and various guides is that if you use SSPI (and maybe pserver as well), the CVS server will attempt to login the user using Windows credentials, and then all operations, i.e. commit, checkout, etc, will be done as if it was that logged in user (i.e. Guest) and so that the NTFS permissions would control access to the repository.
