This is a native WIN32 version of CVS, not the Cygwin build (the available Cygwin package cvs-1.11.0-1 corrupts my file system permissions, the newer 1.11.1-1p1 compiles without problems under Cygwin but the "make check" fails at some stage, so I went back to cvs from CVSNT).
It seems that I have to go back to password authentication for ssh then (or use :pserver: as I did in the past without ssh). We are multiple developers using CVS, and need to have the correct username there (and not SYSTEM).
