by local user i meant a local to the server's machine so it seems there is alot more to this than i thought. Ill have to either setup a PDC or use pserver. thanks for the reply Mike Alexandre Augusto Drummond Barroso wrote: > What do you mean by local user?

Usually a PDC (Primary Domain Controller) authenticates a user as being a valid network user (not a local user) if you login to the domain. Because of this situation, you don't need valid passwords inside your passwd: CVSNT will never use them with SSPI connections. It only checks passwords when connected through pserver or rhosts. > Using SSPI when you issue a command to the cvs server, it authenticates your *Windows* connection and checks if your login name exists inside passwd file. > Cheers, > Xandao. > > -----Original Message----- [snip]
