I was making a stab in the dark since all that www.netbsd.org says is to
set the two variables above and then do it just like the pserver method.
Tried various ways of logging in, mostly with useless error messages from
anoncvs.

In the end I found that I could only make the pserver method work if I used
sh, although I've always done it with csh. I have no idea how ssh could be
used to get sources from anoncvs.
