Somebody with access to debian-gcc CVS - not me - needs to add a 'passwd' file in CVSROOT mapping anonymous to some real user (debbugs has "anonymous:69S/nLyi1wYKc:debbugs", the password field is just a crypted empty string) and a 'readers' file containing just "anonymous". That is, if anonymous access is to be allowed, which I don't see why it shouldn't be. I don't think it needs debian-admin's intervention to set this up. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
