I did verify Bo's XP observations with a clean non-domain attached VM I have for testing, but I haven't checked Win7 myself yet. On my non-attached (randomly named) XP machine to a server on a (Samba) domain, logged in with same username/password as contained in the domain, the following methods work: cvs -d:sspi:domain\username at host:/test login cvs -d:sspi:domain\username at host:/test ls OR cvs -d:sspi:host:/test ls Using the explicit domain\username requires the login step, and with the built in credentials XP is able to work it out. I'm guessing that Win7 isn't "working it out" because of some differences in the networking/domain settings on Win7 client (Kerberos only? Some "trusted" settings? Anti-spoofing prevention?). There's probably a way to fiddle with the settings to get it working, but that's not the important bit -- it's different, and it's the OS that's causing the difference AFAICT. Normally it's best to just connect to the domain, then everything works as expected. Just that easy, right?
