[GRASSLIST:5004] cvs login: warning: failed to open //.cvspass for reading: No suc h file or directory

I received the following error when trying to login to CVS:

cvs login: warning: failed to open //.cvspass for reading: No such file or
directory

cvs [login aborted]: could not open //.cvspass for writing: No such file or
directory

<sigh>...here are the steps I used:

(using Cygwin bash shell)

export
CVSROOT=:pserver:grass-guest@intevation.de:/home/grass/grassrepository

cvs login

Thanks,

~ Eric.
