Re: Authenticating linux CVS users through Windows Domain.

[Derek Price]

You can get a similar "login free" behavior using CVS with the SSH
access method.  Also, either using SSH as an access method or CVS
release 1.12.12 and pserver, you should be able to configure
authentication against a Windows domain by using Linux's Pluggable
Authentication Modules (PAM).

Regards,

Derek
