All my CVS build fail on jenkins with the following message. I check on the command line that my credentials were correct. Command line version of cvs is 1.11.22
This has been working for more than a year
I tried to downgrade the cvs plugin, just in case there was a problem with the new version.
We are using cvs with the pserver protocol.
Jenkins version : 1.590
CVS plugin version : 2.12

I finally solve my problem. It seems that all my builds using CVS had a configuration that overrides the global one.
I uncheck the this connection needs a password on all my cvs jobs.
