As far as I know, .cvspass is not project specific, it is the default username and password that cvs would use, when a particular project is checked out with a certain username and password from a particular cvs server that information is stored with in the checkout so that further commands you run from the checked out version would ideally use that information. I have not played around with CVS enough to tell whether how it would behave when the information in .cvspass and the checked out version is different. Hope that helps Srinivas
