[cvsnt] Re: After upgrade CVSNT requires domainname in username

I have a question about this. I have a CVSNT repository which is hosted 
on a Windows 2000 domain controller (the network is very small, and this 
is one of the few stable machines. Moreover it has a RAID controller and 
two NICs). The clients uses sspi to connect and everything is fine.

But we have a few portable PC which came with XP Home that should log in 
using pserver. I can't get it to work if Run As User is set to [client 
user]. I get some "access denied" error, i.e. creating file in the temp 
dir. I tried to alias the pserver login to different domain accounts - 
all of them have access to the directories - no way. The default domain 
is set to the domain name.

I do not understand if a pserver account should be aliased to a "local 
account" which a DC does not have (only domain accounts), or if it could 
be aliased to domain accounts too.

In general, the explanation on how to setup pserver accounts (and 
accounts in general) is still clumsy in the documentation and too 
Unix-oriented, while CVSNT is often used in Windows environments.

Any help would welcome, thank you.
