It is the correct mailing list.  Thanks also for following the problem
reporting guidelines and attaching your cygcheck output (which looks ok,
BTW).  Your report is missing some information, however, e.g.:

- What CVSROOT value did you use for remote checkouts?
- Do you have your CVS_RSH set to ssh?
- What command did you use to install the sshd service?
- Is it running as SYSTEM or as another user?
- Can you access /opt/cvs while logged in remotely?
- Can you access /opt/cvs via a remote exec (i.e., not logging in, just
  running a command)?

There are more possibilities, but these should get you started.
