The passwd output from Cygwin's mkpasswd -l wouldn't really be useful for 
cvs auth.  See 
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.7/cvs_2.html#SEC30

You might also want to take note of their advice that "Unlike many of the 
files in `$CVSROOT/CVSROOT', it is normal to edit the `passwd' file 
in-place, rather than via CVS."  You can generate one with the aid of 
crypt.  You might also consider using the fallback system auth instead.

Shouldn't this be "cvs pserver" given:

Not using / as CVSROOT might be a good idea as well.

I don't know how eclipse wants to access your repository, but wouldn't it 
make more sense not to use a local pserver, and just let cvs operate 
directly on the fs (:local: and :fork: methods)?
