BTW can someone point me a utility to create one which will work for CVS. When I try to change my passwd for bash, via passwd, it declares I'm not a valid user, although I'm in /etc/passwd). I removed the SYSTEMROOT entry from the passenv line in my /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver, recycled xinetd, and attempted an anonymous login and it failed as before. Changed it back, and it worked.

If that really does fix the problem then something is broken in CYGWIN.
