I've tried this and get the following error:

[user@host user]$ export
CVSROOT=:pserver:user@moria.seul.org:/home/cvspsvr/cvsroot
[user@host user]$ cvs login
(Logging in to periodic@moria.seul.org)
CVS password: 
cvs login: authorization failed: server moria.seul.org rejected access

Also, isn't pserver considered bad since it's not secure?  We have ssh
access, so why not just use CVS via ssh?  Set up properly with generated
keys, it's considered very secure.

thanks for the information,
Kyle
