Re: Cannot log into CVS: Re: [ROOT] running root at cern

Dear Fons

Meanwhile I could solve the problem by using:
%cvs -d :pserver:cvs@root.cern.ch:/user/cvs login
%cvs -d :pserver:cvs@root.cern.ch:/user/cvs co root

However, I do not understand, why only this method
works, which I have never used. I have always followed
the procedure described in the ROOT User Guide.

Could there something be wrong with the setting of CVSROOT?

Best regards
Christian
