No luck. Here's what I did step-by-step:

- Install CVSNT, leave all settings default
- Reboot
- Create test-repository
- Disable pserver
- Generate key files for sserver
- Create new system user cvsuser
- Add cvsuser to group 'Administrators'
- set cvsroot=:sserver:localhost:/test
- cvs login (login with system credentials)
- cvs passwd -a -r cvsuser testuser
- set cvsroot=:sserver:testuser at localhost:/test
- cvs login

At this point, I am presented with the following:

Fatal error, aborting.
cvs [login aborted]: cvsuser: Switch to user failed due to configuration 
error
Contact your System Administrator.

Maybe this will help you identify my problem? Maybe there's something 
wrong with the process I'm going through?
