Hello,

How had you imported the repository ? Did you setup the cvs users ? Here is 
the setup I use on anoncvs.netbsd.ro. Hope it helps.

bash-2.04# ls -ld /cvsroot
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  10 May  2 16:11 /cvsroot -> /ftp/cvsup
bash-2.04# cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep ^cvs
cvspserver      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs    cvs 
--allow-root=/cvsroot -f pserver
bash-2.04# cat /ftp/mycvsup

*default release=cvs                    
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default umask=002
*default host=cvsup2.de.NetBSD.org       
*default base=/ftp/cvsup                
*default prefix=/ftp/cvsup              
*default compress                       

netbsd

bash-2.04# crontab -l | grep sup
0       6       *       *       *       /usr/pkg/bin/cvsup /ftp/mycvsup 2>&1 | 
mail -s "Anoncvs Report" kefren@netbsd.ro

Cheers,
Mihai
