Login is not needed with a reasonably modern CVS client.  Try this
instead (without login):

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/snd update -d cvs-snd

Note the ":" after "anonymous".

Huh?  Are you using some odd CVS client?  The standard CVS client
has stored an unlimited number of login/password/repository
combinations for as long as I can remember.
