Any password will be accepted, or users can skip the 'cvs login' step altogether. They'll still need to specify the anon login name 'anoncvs' (:pserver:anoncvs@sources.red...), but 'anonymous' and 'cvs' are also recognized - some other anoncvs sites use those names, I believe. If your project has a web page explaining how to check out the sources via pserver, I'd recommend removing the initial login command from your example. (I'm sure some people don't believe me :-) - move your $HOME/.cvspass aside and try it for yourself) Jason
