If you have ssh installed on your system, try setting CVS_RSH to ssh and
CVSROOT to anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot in your environment e.g.
with csh and tcsh:
	setenv CVS_RSH ssh
	setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot

Then "cvs checkout" and friends should work (IIRC, you don't need the login
unless using pserver).

best wishes,
