Hi to all!

We have been using cvsnt (in conjunction with viewcvs and cvsmailer) in
our company for almost a year now and haven't got any problems until
these past few days. Our previous setup is  we have our cvsnt in a Win2k
box and 10+ clients also in Win2k box. All of them are members of a
linux domain(samba PDC). Since all of our clients are Win2k, we are
using sspi as our authentication method. We have also set the repository
folders' security using the domain users.

Here is the problem:
Recently we added a few linux boxes which will also be used as cvs
clients. Since sspi is not supported in linux, we tried using ssh as
auth method for our linux clients. The problem is, ssh does not include
domain information thus the linux boxes does not have write permission
to the repository. Temporarily, we have given 'everybody' read access to
all folders so the linux boxes can checkout modules. But when we try to
commit, the linux boxes fails.

Our linux client is gCVS. :ssh:ian at cvs:/test is my CVSROOT. 
Is there any authentication method in linux that would transmit domain
information? or is there any other solution to our problem?

Hope you guys understand my question. and sorry for my english.


Ian
