Thanks Glen. Yes it did work when I use your above method, but it logged-in when I do it on my cvs server machine. When i tried to do it remotely (i.e. from client end), it complains that:

    cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server <my_ip_address> rejected access to /test for user cvsuser

Now whats wrong with it.
wait for your feedback. thanks once again.
