This looks like you still have to type in the password from the terminal.
I would like to update the source each night from a cron job.
Is there really no way to do that?

With OpenBSD i can simply do:

# export CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.de.openbsd.org:/cvs
# cvs co -rOPENBSD_3_3 src/sys
cvs server: Updating src/sys
U src/sys/Makefile
cvs server: Updating src/sys/adosfs
U src/sys/adosfs/adlookup.c
U src/sys/adosfs/adosfs.h
U src/sys/adosfs/adutil.c
U src/sys/adosfs/advfsops.c
U src/sys/adosfs/advnops.c
cvs server: Updating src/sys/altq
^C

without the need to type in a password.

Seems i have to use CVSUP on FreeBSD..
