Could you give a little more information about the operating system you're 
using?

CVS does save the passwords in a file called .cvspass in the home directory 
of the user. It seems as if cvs cannot create this file.

This is almost certainly what it is. If you don't have an obvious home
direcotry, make one with: 

  mkdir /home/jerry
then
  HOME=/home/jerry ; export HOME

Put the HOME directory setting in your c:/cygwin/cygwin.bat if you are the
only user of cygwin on your machine.

Well, I dont use cygwin, but for me, this looks as if cvs wants to create a 
file in your home directory (wherever this is on a windows system). So 
maybe you have to set some kind of home-directory environment variable.
