[NTLUG:Discuss] Can't login to CVS pserver over SSH tunnel

[MadHat]

Have you followed the directions for setting up cygwin?  It doesn't look
like it since your home directory is so odd...  or are you actually
logging in with a username with a space?  Look at mkpasswd and mkgroup
in cygwin.  

The problem appears to be how you have cygwin set up, not a Linux issue.
