Maybe some answers can be found here:

The passwd file lives in the CVSROOT directory of the repository. It
is NOT a file that can be checked out, CVSNT manages it all by itself
and you add/remove users using the cvs passwd command. But only CVS
administrators can use this command for anyone. Normal users can only
change their own pserver passwords with the command.

You need a recent build of CVSNT for this command to work properly,
there were some problems before. I suggest you use build 57g or 57f.
