Unable to access CVS server

I've been unable to follow the directions
in the Programmer's Guide
for getting to the anonymous CVS server.

I'm running RedHat 6.1, and CVS 1.10 which
comes with it. I get as far as entering
the 'postgresql' password, but it gets
rejected every time.

Any hints?

Sorry to bother you all. I got more recent docs and
found I needed a different command to do this, and
it works.

I ran into the same problem a while ago.

Both username and password in docs are WRONG

unfortunately I'm away from my regular computer
and so I can't look up the right ones ..

IIRC, the username/password are OK, but the repository path at hub.org
changed since 7.0 release.

Up-to-date info can be found in the current-tree documentation,
http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/anoncvs.htm
