Pretty sure that's not the case:

The usual:

uriel:~% ssh anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org

To use anonymous CVS install the latest version of CVS on your local machine.
Then set your CVSROOT environment variable to the following value:
          anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot

Connection to anoncvs.netbsd.org closed.

Anyway, it's pretty clearly my problem, so I went through all the
steps carefully. Everything is, of course, fine. I must not have had
$CVS_RSH exported or something else moronic like that. Sorry to
alarm...
