Good idea.  I misunderstood in previous response.  I always did a 'cvs 
logout' because I assumed that the connection to the CVS pserver was  
persistent . So, I was trying to write the script to do this:

cvs login
cvs checkout blah
cvs logout

What you are saying is to issue the 'cvs login' command from an interactive 
shell for the cgi user (nobody) to set the .cvspass file information.  Then 
the script would not login or logout:

cvs checkout blah

BTW - I did get the expect script to work by hardcoding the password value:
- ----------------
spawn cvs login
expect "*password:"
send "anonymous\r"
expect eof
- ----------------

Your solution was easier to implement because expect is not installed on the 
CLUE web server.

Thanks for all the help, Dave and Lynn!
