  Ok. I'll try to explain in more detail what I meant.
Everything I'll describe is from a Windows user
perspective sitting in front of a Windows XP SP2
machine.

  When you connect to a network drive on another
machine Windows remembers the user account and
password used to connect to that machine. You can
modify those saved passwords or add new ones
manually by opening the 'stored user names and
passwords' interface (accessible from the user
management control panel applet or by typing
'control keymgr.dll' directly at the command line).

  Those are the settings I refer to as 'remembered
by the OS'.

  On the old CVSNT builds, when I connect to a
CVSNT server using :sspi:, without explicitly specifying
the user name and password those 'settings remembered
by the OS' are the ones used. On the newer builds my
local login is used instead.

  That means that if I am logged in locally as user A
and I want to log in onto the server as server user B
I can do this using Windows Explorer, but the CVSNT
client will still not be able to connect to the server as
user A will not be recognized by the server.

  I hope I managed to be clearer this time. If there
are any more questions or any other way I can help
please tell me... :-) as I'm most eager to have this
behaving 'as it used to' if at all possible. :-))

  Best regards,
