Let's not make the spam harvesters' life easier.
FWIW, I can't reproduce your problem. I have cvs running perfectly over
ssh, both as a client and as a server.
At this point I'm out of ideas, I can only make some WAGs. Check the
.cvsrc on the server -- does that contain something that could interfere
with the "cvs server" command? Why are you using "PuTTY"? Try connecting
using the regular Cygwin ssh. Also try setting CVS_SERVER to "cvs -t" and
seeing if that sheds any light on what's happening. Do you perhaps have
two versions of cvs on your system, and the wrong one gets called on the
server side (try 'ssh sessioncvs which cvs')?
