Still no go :(

# cd /usr/src
# echo $CVSROOT

# cat CVS/Root
anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
# cvs login
cvs login: can only use pserver method with `login' command
cvs [login aborted]: CVSROOT: anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
# export CVS_RSH=ssh
# cvs login
cvs login: can only use pserver method with `login' command
cvs [login aborted]: CVSROOT: anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
