[cvsnt] Problem changing from ntserver to sspi

I am trying to switch from the ntserver protocol to sspi. And it worked on
a test machine. But on the working server I get the following error
message:

cvs -d :sspi:bcn at mailgw:/HMI login 
Logging in to :sspi:bcn at mailgw:2401:/HMI
cvs [login aborted]: Can't authenticate - server and client cannot agree
on an authentication scheme

I have a local user (bcn) on the server. I have added bcn to the passwd
file and I set SystemAuth=no in the config file and restarted the CVSNT
service, but not the server machine.
 To be able to connect with the ntserver protocol I had one drive apped to
the server, on the test machine I didn't need that to be able to connect
with the sspi protocol.  So as a second test towards the working server I
disconnected the mapped drive and restarted my workstation.

I would like to know if I have to rastart the server, but I would like to
avoid that, when all the other users should switch protocol.
