Thanks to everyone!

Yes, of course you did that. I should have taken more care in noticing
this when following your installation advice "7.d  ... and check all
checkboxes" which I did but shouldn't have (see below). My mistake!

Once I unchecked 'use local users' everything was fine (i.e. 
"cvs passwd -a pieper" worked).

Well, I was afraid of that and have therefore been fiddeling around with 
the whole bunch of them (/, //, \, \\), then. None worked (with my checkbox
checked wrongly)...
