RE: [ECOS] access cvs server problem need help

["Dan Conti" <danc at fullplaymedia dot com>]

The message there says it all: "failed to open c:/cygwin/.cvspass for
reading: No such file or directory".

i.e. cvs wants to open the file and is failing because it doesn't exist.

I'm believe (may be wrong) that you can just do "touch ~/.cvspass" and
it will load properly, then generate a .cvspass with data after running
once. Also dont you want to run this from bash instead? (noting
C:\cygwin)
