Your CVSROOT/passwd file is incorrectly formatted (it is *NOT* the same
as /etc/passwd). The format is:
user:password[:user to run as]
Your CVSROOT/passwd is something like:
root:xcviyusdf:11424
so CVS is trying to run as user "11424" which doesn't exist.
Also, it's a very bad idea to use CVS as "root".
