Setting up cvs on Windows 2000

[Randall R Schulz]

Elfyn,

I neglected to mention that it has also been reported that some, through 
heroic effort, have managed to get pserver working. Details of their 
arduousness were not reported, however.

Searching for "CVS," "pserver," "external" and / or "SSH" will help you 
zero in on the pertinent messages to the Cygwin mailing list.

It's possible that ongoing improvements in Cygwin have made pserver work 
(with less effort). Since I know nothing of the problems that impaired 
pserver function, I can only offer this as a guess.
