Did you add a user named 'user' to your repository??
'cvs passwd -a user'

If not you should try a real user that exists on your server.
You should have a user acting as repository administrator. This should
be a real user.
cd into your CVSROOT create a file named 'admin' and put the user name
of this repository administrator without any spaces/tabs in the first
line.
Now this user is able to do all the thinks a repository admin has to
do ('cvs admin' etc.)
