/*
just a guess:
1. try adding newline
2. try redirecting stdin on the command line without ruby (maybe cvs
reads the keyboard directly)

Found a working solution that is much simpler =

cvsrepos=%w[...]
cvspass=gets.chomp

cvsrepos.each {|x|
puts "Login CVS Repository >> #{x} ..." 
IO.popen("#{CVSEXE} -d
:pserver:#{ENV["USERNAME"]}:#{cvspass}@cvshost:d:/cvsrepos/#{x} login")
}


the CVSROOT string takes a password too
