	Here is the output for the CVSROOT variable.

~ solo > echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot

	I use tcsh so it's setenv for me, and I put it in my .login file.  
Here is the whole sequence of events.

/usr solo > sudo cvs login
(Logging in to anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org)
CVS password: ( I type in anoncvs here)
/usr solo > sudo cvs checkout -P src
cvs checkout: authorization failed: server anoncvs.netbsd.org rejected 
access to /cvsroot for user anoncvs
cvs checkout: authorization failed: server anoncvs.netbsd.org rejected 
access
cvs checkout: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password

	This is my second attempt after trying the first time.  This time 
I'm su'd to root.

solo# echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
solo# cvs login
(Logging in to anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org)
CVS password:
solo# cvs checkout -P src

	I don't get my prompt back and no traffic is passed.  It just sits 
there.  I do have a firewall setup using ipfilter.  Could this be 
causing a problem?  Right now my ruleset denies everything unless I 
initiate the connection.  It works fine for every other kind of 
connection: sftp, ssh, scp, etc.

	After some time passes, I get this,

solo# cvs [checkout aborted]: received broken pipe signal
[1]    Exit 1                        cvs checkout -P src
