The cvs command logout, from the html page does,
-------
The password for the currently choosen remote repository can be removed
from the CVS_PASSFILE by using the cvs logout command. 
-------

With my experience with CVS normally you login once, the first time you
connect to a server.  Once you login you checkout the sources.  Later when
the source tree has changed you can update your tree with the latest
changes.  Normally you don't need to logout.  If you are planning to get
the source tree once, it is faster to just get a tar.gz of the tree.  When
I use cvs I want to keep my directory tree up to date with the remote one,
and that is why I'm using CVS to begin with.

There is the issue with having the cvs password on your computer with a
weak encryption algorithm, but then again, on public readonly cvs servers
the password is known by anyone wanting access.

I would suggest taking out the logout command and replacing it with
something like this.

-----------------
Once the cvs tree is checked out, you may update your tree with the latest
changes by going to the directory you checked it out in and typing.

cvs -z9 update

Other useful commands are given by,
cvs --help-commands
