Hi, just a hint; checked this : CVS on Windows complains it cannot find my .cvspass file; why? For pserver connections, CVS on the client side tries to find the .cvspass file in your home directory. Windows machines don't have a natural "home" directory, so CVS consults the environment variable %HOME%. However, you have to be very careful about how you set HOME. This will work:
set HOME=C: This will not: set HOME=C:\ That extra backslash is enough to confuse CVS, and it will be unable to open C:\\.cvspass. So, the quick and permanent solution is to put set HOME=C: into your autoexec.bat and reboot. CVS pserver should work fine after that. see cvs docu visit http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/.
