Hello,

I'm not sure if this the right address for these kind of reports, but...

I've been following the instructions for anonymous cvs access on the
postgresql site and I'm using the password "postgresql" as described in the
document http://www.postgresql.org/docs/programmer/cvs8365.htm.

My CVS version is 1.10.6 running on Redhat 6.1.

Here is the sample session I run :

[gunnar@balder src]$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot login
(Logging in to anoncvs@postgresql.org)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server postgresql.org rejected access

regards,

Gunnar

Re: Anonymous CVS fails

needs to be changed on teh web site, but CVSROOT should be set to:

/home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot

instead of:

/usr/local/cvsroot

Yes, this document could need an update to reflect the new location :

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/programmer/cvs8365.htm

Maybe putting instructions to change the stored CVSROOT would be nice: ie,
"edit the 'root' file under the 'CVS' directory in your update tree to the new
location, then perform the same edit on the '.cvspass' file in your home
directory" would be useful.
