For what its worth (perhaps nothing) based on other comments about this
working
sometimes...
I got cygwin CVS working using the pserver protocol with no heroic efforts.
Not having
used CVS before, I could have done something heroic and didn't even know
it, but I
doubt it. 8-).
1) I set the CVSROOT, CVSPASSWORD environment variables
2) Seem to recall needing to fully qualify the hostname in CVSROOT, i.e.
export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/repos/foobar
3) cvs login
I pretty extensively use the eclipse CVS plugin, but the cygwin stuff I use
for
batch changes and I've done more than a few checkouts/updates/commits
with no problems thus far. Several others on my team have had good luck as
well.
I'm running XP Professional, some of my teammates are on Win2000.

Elfyn,
I neglected to mention that it has also been reported that some, through
heroic effort, have managed to get pserver working. Details of their
arduousness were not reported, however.
Searching for "CVS," "pserver," "external" and / or "SSH" will help you
zero in on the pertinent messages to the Cygwin mailing list.
It's possible that ongoing improvements in Cygwin have made pserver work
(with less effort). Since I know nothing of the problems that impaired
pserver function, I can only offer this as a guess.
