cvs -d :pserver:JOHN:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gehcbi login
I *think* that syntax is specific to CVSNT (free/GPL, runs on
Linux/Windows/Mac/Unix).
Same as:
cvs -d :pserver;pass=WELCOME;user=JOHN:@openge.ge.com:/cvsroot/gehcbi
login
As others have pointed out this is rather insecure. A better
alternative is to use ssh, sserver or sspi to authenticate using ssh
keys, a client certificate or your windows active directory login.
If this is indeed a CVSNT questions please send it to the CVSNT the
newsgroup:

or
