Arthur, Thanks for your guidance.
I have installed cvsnt in win2000. When I connected through TortoiseCVS from a windows client using SSPI, it did connect and I was able to do checkin/checkout. However, my basic requirement is that while connecting it should ask for password. Is it possible? Thanks again, Ragothaman.
