I use binmode mounts all the time. cvs login works for me. Don't blame
binmode/textmode.
I think you should look at ~/.cvspass and make sure it doesn't have /r/n
line endings. Imagine thie:
:pserver:anoncvs AT anoncvs DOT cygnus DOT com:/cvs/src Ay=0=h<Z \r\n
:pserver:anoncvs AT subversions DOT gnu DOT org:/cvs A \r\n
Then, you switch to binmode, and do another cvslogin, resulting in this:
:pserver:anoncvs AT anoncvs DOT cygnus DOT com:/cvs/src Ay=0=h<Z \r\n
:pserver:anoncvs AT subversions DOT gnu DOT org:/cvs A \r\n
:pserver:anoncvs AT sources DOT redhat DOT com:/cvs/src Ay=0=h<Z \n <<<< no \r
The next time the .cvspass file is read in, cvs is confused by the
presence of the \r's in the first two lines. (Which it never saw
before, thanks to textmode).
Use switch back to binmode, use dos2unix on .cvspass (and .cvsrc for
that matter), and try again...
