G'Day everyone,
	I am having some problems with the sspi protocol.

	I have a Win2K machine (my workstation), that I am testing CVSNT
on. The filesysytem is NFTS, and there is more than enough space free on
the workstation.
	I setup a CVSUSers Group, and made my domain account a member. I
created the c:\cvsrepo (CVSUsers group & SYSTEM user all permissions) &
c:\cvstemp directories (SYSTEM user all permissions).
	I installed CVSNT, keeping all the defaults. I then created a
repository called test, and set the repository prefix to c:\cvsrepo.
Both the CVS Service and CVS Lock service were started.

	When I try the following command

	c:> cvs -d :sspi:jim.local.ranger.com:/test login<enter>
	CVS Password: <domain account password><enter>

	I get the following response

cvs [login aborted]: Can't authenticate - server and client cannot agree
on an authentication scheme (got '')


	Have I forgotten something during the setup? Is there some other
issue that I have overlooked?


	Many thanks to Tyler for his help so far, but this seems to be
beating us both.
