Answer 1

this is simple, run form commandline

cvs -d :pserver:login:password@host:/dir/ login

This create .cvspass for you.

OR

simple paste to hudson CVSROOT variable this:

:pserver:login:password@host:/dir/

This is with password, so you dont need to create .cvspass

Answer 2

.cvspass is only created using a windows native compiled CVS.

Confirm using cvs -version that you are not using cvs (CVSNT). CVSNT does not create .cvspass.
