Read section 2.9.3.1 of the Cerderqvist CVS manual.  Then you may want
to get a copy of htpasswd (from the Apache httpd server distribuiton)
or an equivalent tool (search for cvspasswd) to generate / manage that
file.

Cvsweb has nothing to do with this.

That means: don't show files names ".cvspass" or "passwd" in your
listing.

Hope this helps.
