CVS access problem

I'm following the instructions on the web site which say's:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Do an initial login to the CVS server:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot login

You will be prompted for a password; enter 'postgresql'. You should only
need to do this once, since the password will be saved in .cvspass in your
home directory.
------------------------------------------------------------
This doesn't seem to work. Is there something else I should use instead?

Thanks.

Mark

Re: CVS access problem

The location of the cvs repository recently changed. It is know
accessible as

:pserver:<userid>@cvs.postgresql.org:/cvsroot

Your commandline for an initial login should be:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.postgresql.org:/cvsroot login

I'm trying that exact command line above but I get this:

Fatal error, aborting.
anoncvs: no such user
cvs login: authorization failed: server cvs.postgresql.org rejected access
to /cvs
root for user anoncvs

Re: CVS access problem

anoncvs.postgresql.org, not cvs.postgresql.org ... Arne posted the wrong
one :(
