I thank you all for your help. I still don't know what is happening. But
it doesn't look like a cygwin problem.
On my server (a new debian install with a plain vanilla cvs install from
it's distribution) OpenSSHD
I can do a cvs login with a :pserver: cvs root (to the local subnet interface)
and do all CVS operation this way.
I can ssh login to any interface on the server from my wincvs box
If I
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:me@address:/repository
export WINCVS=binmode
I do "cvs -t checkout module"
I then enter the password to ssh,
->cvs entering main loop (from trace)
then I get a cvs server "unexpected end of file"
None of the system logs are altered by this other tha auth.log which
idicates a succesful ssh login.
