    I'll try to help, but there are good references at the home page of CVS too :)

    Not a good idea. You don't need superuser rights to check out stuff
    from a remote repository.

    Simply running:

            dns1# touch ~/.cvspass

    should do it.

    It seems the CVSROOT/passwd file of the remote repository is corrupt.
