I found out the original problem.  I put my .ssh into (roughly)
c:\home\Paul Edwards

instead of

c:\cygwin\home\Paul Edwards

Thereafter I started using the HOME and HOMEDIR environment
variables to do what I want, and copy stuff to "etc" etc.  I didn't
realise the passwd file was significant.

OpenSSH that is part of Cygwin.

I use cvs from command line "dos".

Well, I've gone and deleted all my .ssh scattered throughout my
system anyway.  :-)

Oh, for anyone watching.  CVS hangs going from 1.11.9 to 1.12.2.

BFN.  Paul.
