The CVS server wants you to enter a password. The operation times out because 
you do not enter anything. ;)
Try pressing enter (empty string) when it asks to login.
Actually, it would be much better if you logged in once (manually on the 
terminal):

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/open-beos 
cvs login 
[on prompt press enter]

Then remove the login and logout lines from your script:

#!/bin/sh 
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/open-beos 
cd ~/obos_repos
cvs co . 

Now it should work without having to login.

Bye,
Waldemar
