the history file (as well as all cvs control files) are owned by
cvspsrv:cvspsrv , my guess is that you cannot do the import locally,
you must use (I think)

CVSROOT=:pserver:mylogin@moria.seul.org:/same/thing/as/before

so that the server side update is done by the cvs process owned by cvspsrv
that will be spawned to handle the request on moria.

First you'll need a "cvs login" command, and after being logged in, "cvs
import <args>". However, you must have a cvs pserver-specific password
(apprently stored in CVSROOT/passwd). Did anybody (pete, ales) add your
name (and a initial password) to the pserver passwd file ?
