[ECOS] access cvs server problem need help

[Jing Luo]

I re-installed cvs client cvs-1.11.1p1.tar on win2k + cygwin 1.3.9.

I set HOME=c:/cygwin & mount -f c:\ /c
C:\cygwin>cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos login
Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:2401/cvs/ecos
CVS password:
cvs login: failed to open c:/cygwin/.cvspass for reading: No such file or
directory
cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting

C:\cygwin>mount
c:\cygwin\usr\bin on /usrbin type user (textmode)
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
c:\cygwin\tmp on /tmp type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
c: on /c type user (textmode)
e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount)
f: on /cygdrive/f type user (binmode,noumount)
g: on /cygdrive/g type user (binmode,noumount)
h: on /cygdrive/h type user (binmode,noumount)
k: on /cygdrive/k type user (binmode,noumount)

C:\cygwin>echo %HOME%
c:/cygwin

Am I install wrong cvs client version?

setting the HOME variable fixed the problem for me:
can be set in the .profile file (bash ) (placed in the cygwin directory
worked for me)  :

first mount the drive where cygwin is located , in this example  m: , then
define & export the variable HOME

mount -f m:/ /m
....
HOME=m:/cygwin
export HOME

the shell that is opened will save the password in m:/cygwin/.cvspass for
future accesses
