You haven't updated your CVSROOT pointer (took me a little while to
figure that error out too ;-)). See Marc's "heads up" from last night.

There may be a better answer than doing a whole fresh checkout, but
that's what I did to get the new CVSROOT value in place here.

did you see my email yesterday in both -hackers and -core about the change
in CVSROOT? *raised eyebrow* *grin*

First, I forgot my end had it defined. Now that I have fixed this, and
forgot about my .cvspass file. Working now.

Hmm, but for me:

~$ rm -f .cvspass
~$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs(at)postgresql(dot)org:/home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot/ login
(Logging in to anoncvs(at)postgresql(dot)org)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server postgresql.org rejected access
~$

* password "postgresql" or "postgres"
* cvs 1.10.7
* before now it works (I use it often..)

Overlook I anything?

Marc and postgresql.org is OK! --- CVS 1.10.7 is bad....

In the CVSROOT path (or -d switch) can't be '/' as last char!

See:

$ export CVSROOT=":pserver:anoncvs(at)postgresql(dot)org:/home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot/"
$ cvs login
(Logging in to anoncvs(at)postgresql(dot)org)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server postgresql.org rejected accessmravenec:~$ export

export CVSROOT=":pserver:anoncvs(at)postgresql(dot)org:/home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot"
$ cvs login
(Logging in to anoncvs(at)postgresql(dot)org)
CVS password:
$

Grrrr......

The docs say the anoncvs password is "postgresql" (BTW guys, let's
not forget to update the documentation page that says the cvsroot is
/usr/local/cvsroot ...). I wonder if leaving off the trailing slash on
the -d path would help?

Another possibility is that postgresql.org is not pointing at the right
server. I see that I have hub.org in my .cvspass (but that's for
non-anonymous login which might be set up differently). Marc?

OK, CVS faq updated, but I need group write permission in html and
html/docs. Marc?
