Yes. This works for me when my usernames are the same: cvs -d :sspi:myhost:/myrepo login or when you need a different username, use: cvs -d :sspi:user at myhost:/myrepo login This is run on my Linux box (FC2) to my WinXP-Pro CVS server. The primary difference that I can *see* on it is that the Linux SSPI requires the login step, even when the username isn't required. I believe though that the SSPI client that is used from Linux is on the order of Win9x level of security, which isn't considered "high" security (but better than pserver, I think... but I'm no security expert).
