As alraedy stated:
You cannot use this CVSROOT at all! Valid roots are:
  :pserver:user at localhost:/test
or
  :sspi:localhost:/test
or
  :sspi:user at localhost:/test

The two variations that have user@ inside requires an initial cvs
login (once only for that workstation and user combination), but the
one without will never require a cvs login. It uses the login done to
the workstation.
