- What CVSROOT value did you use for remote checkouts?
:ext:sessioncvs:/opt/cvs

- Do you have your CVS_RSH set to ssh?
Yes

- What command did you use to install the sshd service?
ssh-host-config

- Is it running as SYSTEM or as another user?
As SYSTEM i think, i'm not sure of that. By windows when i list
services, i found for "CYGWIN sshd" service : open the session as "local
system".

- Can you access /opt/cvs while logged in remotely?
Yes

- Can you access /opt/cvs via a remote exec (i.e., not logging in, just
  running a command)?
What command can i execute ?
With WinCVS i exec the "cvs" command succesfully :
cvs 
Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
  where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc.
...

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.
