Alexei,

Beyond the uncalled-for shouting and the demanding tone, there's a paucity 
of information in your cry for help.

Please give is more details about your configuration: Cygcheck, the 
contents of any ".cvsrc" files. Likewise, please say more about what 
specifically you're attempting. Show us your CVSROOT (since you don't show 
a "-d" option). As it is, we don't know if you're using a remove (pserver) 
or local (file system) repository. The output of "type -a cvs" wouldn't 
hurt, since experience shows that people can have multiple installations of 
certain tools, and you could be invoking a non-Cygwin version of the "cvs" 
command.

Etc...

Details! We need more details!
