Does this mean that, when using the sspi protocol,
that each cvs username *must* be a valid system
username (domain or local)?

I am attempting to setup cvsnt on a machine running
win2k server.  All clients will be on windows machines
- some on my LAN and some over the internet.  I have
setup the passwd file so that cvs usernames are
aliased to valid domain users, however, I am getting
authentication errors when attempting to connect via
the sspi protocol.  When I change to pserver it works
but, from what I'm reading, this is not desirable for
connections over the internet.  Thus far, I am only
having success with the sspi protocol when I use a
valid system username.

Will I need to setup all of my cvs users with system
accounts?

Thanks for any help!
