If you are using the SSPI protocol via extnt you don't need to
specifiy a real user name and password, so that shouldn't matter.

In the CVS Repsoitory Explorer perspecitive in eclipse add a new
repositoory location. You can specify an "anonymous" user name and a
blank password. The repository location should then look like (where
"server" is the cvs host and "/cvs" is the repsoitory):

:ext:anonymous at server:/cvs

The error message you got:
> Unknown user name and password.  "

Indicates that there may be a problem with the extnt.exe version you
are using on the client, did you install the CVSNT 2.0.54 version? If
you are using the 2.0.58d client this won't work (it's something to do
with handling the line endings).

HTH, YMMV
