Peter, in that case I suggest to set up the server by enabling *only* the sserver protocol. It is similar in setup as the pserver protocol, but has the advantage that the transfers are encrypted including login. In my installation guide on the net is a description on how to get sserver going. http://web.telia.com/~u86216177/InstallCVSNT25.html What you also need in your case after setup is to disable all other protocols, this is done in the CVSNT control panel. Alternatively you could also still use sspi, then you would have to add the three valid logins to the local users on the server so that there is a password store internally on the server. That is how I have done it at home where I have a W2K server in a workgroup. Accesss is then done via CVSROOT :sspi:user at server:/repo and you need to do a login from the client side once. Regarding encryption with sspi (which is optional) it is possible to *force* that from the server side in one of the options on the CVSNT control panel.

Now I need to set up a server for a different organisation. I'm looking for advice on the best protocol to use given the constraints. They have a hosted web server that's reasonably well backed up and on a fast network. No other box in the organisation is better specced, and this is (to me) the obvious place to put the CVSNT server. It's a standalone Windows 2003 server - no domain. They also have 3 people who need access to this repository. One of those people is me, via three machines (two desktops, one laptop) in two of my own domains. The others are standalone Windows boxes. Setting up trust relationships, adding a domain controller or joining the server into an existing domain have been ruled out for paranoia reasons. The project sponsor is concerned about theft of his source code, and will not accept cleartext communication with to the server. I want to get this set up so that it costs me the least possible hassle during setup and maintenance. I'd welcome any suggestions on the most appropriate protocol to use given those constraints! Thanks in advance. - Peter _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
