I deleted the whole tree, changed the makefile to the new syntax, and it fails with the identical messages.
The good news is that we documented pserver.samba.org in the second edition... the bad news is that I can't get it to work (;-))

For that last few years, I've been using a makefile to download and build samba, based on the instructions in http://us1.samba.org/samba/cvs.html These are the same instructions that we put in "Using Samba", and are unchanged in the second edition.
The cvs.html file has probably changed since then, specifically it has been modified to split the anonymous cvs repository to pserver.samba.org and the writable cvs repository staying at cvs.samba.org. According to the CVS logs this split was done in October 2000.
Alas, they now only cause diagnostics, at least three of which are bogus!
1) If I run "cvs update -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot -P" it returns "No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option", which, you understand, I did (;-))
There are instructions for "reparenting" a cvs repository using some simple unix commands on the new cvs.html page.
I'm sorry the new version of your book has the old information in it - that's a real bummer. )-:
