Well, yup, that worked.

But... is that a workaround?  It seems like the changelog plugin (or whichever 
component is accessing CVS) should know how to log in properly using a password, like 
Ant.  This solution requires that the user have cvs installed locally.  (Right?)

Thanks for the tip.

Use cvs login to login before running Maven's reports.
