Have you enabled PAM when you built CVS (you need the PAM development includes
etc.)?  Without PAM it's impossible to authenticate against anything except the /etc/passwd
file.

Everything else is down to PAM configuration, which varies from system to system
(you'll be better off on a PAM support list if it gets to this point).

You don't use a CVSROOT/passwd file at all if you want to use SystemAuth.
