[cvsnt] Newbie: remote login with sspi

[Alexandre Augusto Drummond Barroso]

What do you mean by local user? Local to your machine or local to your network.
With SSPI protocol, you *don't* login using login command. Cvs authenticates your connection using the windows login name. Usually a PDC (Primary Domain Controller) authenticates a user as being a valid network user (not a local user) if you login to the domain. Because of this situation, you don't need valid passwords inside your passwd: CVSNT will never use them with SSPI connections. It only checks passwords when connected through pserver or rhosts.
Using SSPI when you issue a command to the cvs server, it authenticates your *Windows* connection and checks if your login name exists inside passwd file.

Cheers,

Xandao.
