I'm using cvsnt-1.11.1.3-65 (built from source) on Debian (unstable)
linux; Everything works fine authenticating to a Windows 2000 DC running
CVSNT, EXCEPT that when I commit changes, I seem to get a '#' character
prepended to the username; now I have logs of the sort:

----------------------------
revision 1.9
date: 2003/03/05 23:34:37;  author: #jonr;  state: Exp;  lines: +12 -0
Tidy up and restructure.
----------------------------
revision 1.8
date: 2003/03/03 12:45:37;  author: jonr;  state: Exp;  lines: +3 -3
Use new dir layout.
----------------------------
...

Note the extra '#' in front of the user.

What might make things a little more interesting is the fact that the
users are actually pulled from the Win2K Active Directory using LDAP.
However, other UNIX utilities don't seem to suffer from additional '#'s.

Anyone else seen this? Any fixes? 

Jon.
