Which version of CVSNT client are you using (cvs ver)?

I know it works with CVS Suite (available from the web site AUD$170.85,
and we even have a support team in Sydney):

$ cvs -d :pserver:debiancvs:/cvs logout
Logging out of :pserver:abarrett@debiancvs:2401:/cvs

$ cvs -d :pserver:debiancvs:/cvs rls
Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password
cvs [rls aborted]: authorization failed: server debiancvs rejected
access to /cvs

$ cvs -d :pserver:debiancvs:/cvs login -p 1%&@o^$4
Logging in to :pserver:abarrett@debiancvs:2401:/cvs

$ cvs -d :pserver:debiancvs:/cvs rls
Listing modules on server

CVSROOT
.

.


If you are not using the 2.5.04 or the 2.5.05 testing release then I
recommend you upgrade.  We would apply any fix to 2.5.05.
