There's a bug in 1.11.1p1 such that it doesn't create your ~/.cvspass
file the first time you do a login. Simply touch the file (or create it
any other way you like) and it will work fine. You might want to figure
out why your home directory is /, though. (If you're trying to run CVS
as root, don't!)
