[caveat: I am fairly new to cvs, so this advice might only be worth what you
paid for it :]

If "cvs_root" is not actually a real account, you need to map it to an
existing account.
Ex:
cvs_root:<crypt>:nobody
would tell pserver that when it gets a connection from cvs_root, that
connection should have the file permissions of real user nobody.
Also, the above crypt looks like an MD5 crypt. Does pserver understand those?
At worst, try using a standard des crypt(3). You should end up with 13
characters in total.
Everything else looks right.
Hope this helps,
