Thanks.  That didn't work at first either, but it put me on the right track.  
I had not read anything about this .cvspass file and didn't know I was 
supposed to have one.  So when I got the same error message as a normal
user, but looking for the file in the normal user home directory, I just 
touched the file in that directory and tried again and then it worked fine.  
Seems like maybe something isn't quite right there, somehow, but it works 
now so thanks for pointing me right.
