this is my environment at work also. As basic difference I've set my Cygwin home to my Windows home (mounted in binmode). So my .cvspass file is searched from each side at the same location. Additionally the file is in Unix format. I have no problem to use it with either Cygwin's CVS or CVSNT, that came with WinCVS or from the CVS client of Eclipse or from JBuilder or from Tortoise CVS (but CVSNT and CVSNT-based products use the registry for the login info anyway). However I did not have to change anything in the .cvspass file nor have I specified the port in the project.xml. The only problem I had was from within Eclipse. That client does not like it, if you specify the server without its domain.
