I was just looking for a news post or wiki entry of Bo (or Glen?) I
remembered that described how to set up SSPI connections over the
internet. So far I haven't been able to find it. Could anybody maybe
supply me with a link or alternatively answer the following questions:

When connecting across domain boundaries/over the internet:

1. What should ideally be the setting of CVSROOT/config.SystemAuth or
doesn't it matter?

1a. Does SystemAuth=yes imply: "Don't even look at passwd"?

2. Does one have to include the username in the CVSROOT even if it is
the same as on the server?

3. Does one have to use the Login command even if username and password
are the same as on the server (though the account is not the same!)?

4. Does one have to set up the user in the passwd file?

4a. If so, should the domain prefix maybe be included in the username?

5. What else is there to consider?


A more general question concerning 2+3: Does CVSNT use SIDs or always
username/password? IOW: Does it really matter which domain a user
account belongs to as long as there is an account with the same
username/password combination in both domains?

Cheers,
