"Logging in" only sets the password for a particular cvsroot. It's the
cvsroot you're using that determines what user you're running as, not
the most recent login. When you checkout a directory, CVS remembers the
cvsroot you used and re-uses it for all subsequent operations in that
directory unless you override it with a -d global option on the command
line. So, my guess is that you're working in a directory that was
checked out by root and you're not specifying -d.
