[cvsnt] Using a Linux CVSNT client with sspi to CVSNT Windows server (fwd)

[Nick Partner]

Hi,

this often seems to come up.  not sure if there is an entry in the wiki 
somewhere.  basically, CVSNT doesn't quite support sspi on linux, 
specifically it does support NTLMv1, which SSPI will downgrade to, 
kerb->ntlm2->ntlm1

this means that if you in one of the following cases you cannot use sspi:

1.  your windows guy disables use of ntml1

2.  you have checked the encryption option on the server

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but these are your 2 basic 
cases.

Theoretically you *can* use kerberos to auth, however it is a little 
tricky to setup and last time I heard noone was maintaining this.

this is my understanding, am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
