You create it in the server, in the CVSROOT directory within your 
repository.  It's a text file, so the simplest way to create it an put in a 
single username would be to go to a command prompt and type:

echo juser > d:\cvsrepos\cvsroot\admin

Assuming you want username "juser" to have administrative rights on the 
repository.  Some note about those cvsroot files with regard to usernames:

--Do NOT include the domain name (e.g. DOM1\juser gets entered as juser)

--In at lease the WRITERS file, the username is case sensitive.

Glad I could help.
