It seems it is only way that I can set password for users. Does there any other
ways?

I am testing pserver method to connect cvsnt server since I try to make my
eclipse work with it.

I mis-spell the localhost to loclhost, sorry.

I already solved this problem, because I was using an empty password ("")
previous, now I set my account a some password not empty, the above problem has
gone. Thanks for attending my questions, that helps a lot.

Actually, I raised other problems, when I try to import a working project
through eclipse, a pop up window says that can't connect to cvsnt. I checked
this kind problems mailing list, it seems that eclipse did not support cvsnt, is
that still right?

Because the eclipse failed to connect cvsnt, I used command line to do import
and checkout. While import and checkout can be done through local mode (because
I set CVSROOT=:local:g:\cvs\master), but cant works(I first did this) through
pserver, like:
cvs -d :pserver:my-account-name at localhost:/cvs/master checkout project-name
(I import the project-name by using local mode).
cvs [server aborted]: Couldn't chdir to working directory for cvsnt: No such
file or directory.

Thanks very much!
