I'm being driven slowly mad by cvs...

I have 3 boxes, one is acting as a cvs server. The "cvs clients" (for
lack of a better term) are running 6.1 and should be configured the
same. Yet, one machine lets me do a cvs login, the other requires I
use cvs -d :psserver:.. with each cvs command.

I do not have CVSROOT set on either machine.

What I get is this:

[#822] cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:myname@myserver/home/foo/bar
cvs login: authorization failed: server myserver rejected access to
/home/foo/bar for user mgrant

yet, on the other machine, I get a password prompt and all is fine.

Someone sets CVSROOT, if you can just type "cvs login" and get a prompt
for ``Logging in to :pserver:myname@myserver/home/foo/bar''.

Can you run, on both systems, the following?

$ env | sort | grep CVS

env | sort | grep CVS
returns nothing. There are no CVS* variables set! Strange. Where is
it getting the cvsroot from? Even if I remove the .cvspass file, it
still uses the pserver line from before. It's definitely getting
cached somewhere. greping the env for pserver shows nothing.

Do you have a local CVS/ subdirectory when you try "cvs login"?

If yes, what does it contain?
