Ok, I just tried this (after a delay caused by trying to build ethereal 
- more on that later) and got:

MacIIvx# cd /usr
MacIIvx# export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
export: Command not found.    (oops! forgot I am using csh!)
MacIIvx# set CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
MacIIvx# cvs login
cvs login: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option
cvs [login aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
MacIIvx# echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
MacIIvx# cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot login
Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:2401/cvsroot
CVS password:   (here I typed "anoncvs")
cvs login: warning: failed to open /root/.cvspass for reading: No such 
file or directory
MacIIvx#


What did I screw up?
