[cvsnt] Does gserver support impersonation (Windows ActiveDirectory)?

Dirk,

Just a couple of quick additions to Tony's reply.

Why are you using gserver?  This is generally only needed when
authenticating Linux clients, for Windows XP client to Windows 2003
server just use SSPI.  If you want to limit it to kerberos only then use
the properties of the SSPI plugin in the CVSNT Server control panel to
set that preference.

How?  If you use SSPI then the users/groups all come from AD and so
therefore so do the ACLs.  Windows ACL's cannot control user access to
branches because a branch is only a concept within CVSNT not within the
file system.
