Hello Larry: Here is the un-altered version of the error message:
[rohit@helix temp]$ CVSROOT=":pserver:readroh@lipid:/usr/local/cvs-rep" [rohit@helix temp]$ cvs login (Logging in to readroh@lipid) CVS password: Fatal error, aborting. readroh: no such user cvs login: authorization failed: server lipid rejected access and I run Redhat 7.0. The /var/log/message does not show anything and no error message. And I am not editing $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file directly in the repository directory. I first checkout the file and then edit it before committing.
