You only need to login once (assuming you don't "cvs logout"). CVS stores the trivially encoded password associated with each cvsroot (the stuff you listed after the -d in the commands above) in ~/.cvspass. CVS also keeps track of which cvsroot corresponds to each checked out directory in <checked_out_dir>/CVS/Root.

In a nutshell, login once by hand and chechout the files you are interested in, then use "cvs update", either run by hand or via a cron job, to keep the files current.
