Yeah, sure. Do it all the time. I don't remember anything special, but what
takes the place of cvs login in eclipse is when you add a repository and
specify the location, your cvs user name and password. In that wizard, it
tries to make a connection when you click next. If this doesn't work, you've
specified something wrong. If it does, there should be no further problem.

(Is the problem you don't have a passwd set up?)
