I'm trying to do cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.r-project.org:/home/rcvs/src login and I get "authorization failed...rejected access" with the previously advertised password (anoncvs). Has the access been changed or is anyone else having this problem? I'm not very familiar with cvs so I may be making some mistake.

hmm, I thought we finally *didn't* allow anonymous cvs,
{one reason being the log files publicity?},
but rather recommend and advertize rsync (which also works for CRAN, btw).
I have cron jobs calling shell scripts like
#---------------------------------------
RSYNC=/usr/local/bin/rsync
cd /usr/local/app/R/R-devel
$RSYNC -Cuvrlt --delete rsync.r-project.org::r-devel .
cd /usr/local/app/R/R-release-patched
$RSYNC -Cuvrlt --delete rsync.r-project.org::r-release-patched .
#---------------------------------------
rsync is available in Linux ("any newer distribution", probably),
or from
ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/rsync/
Excerpts from its README:
WHAT IS RSYNC? -------------- rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features. rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs between two files normally requires local access to both files. ..... RSYNC SERVERS ------------- rsync can also talk to "rsync servers" which can provide anonymous or authenticated rsync. See the rsyncd.conf(5) man page for details on how to setup a rsync server. See the rsync(1) man page for info on how to connect to a rsync server.

{one reason being the log files publicity?},
but rather recommend and advertize rsync (which also works for CRAN, btw).
We were providing anonymous cvs access in addition to anonymous rsync access but now the configuration for the anonymous pserver account seems to be botched up. I don't know enough about the anonymous cvs setup to fix it right now and don't have time to learn about it. If Tony Rossini or Duncan Temple Lang have time to fix it, we'll get it fixed. Otherwise I recommend we discontinue anonymous cvs. Most everything people want from anonymous cvs can be accomplished much more cleanly with anonymous rsync. The only advantages of anonymous cvs are for people who do want to read the log files or want to check out copies of earlier versions. Since any checkouts by the anonymous user must be able to update the history files, the anonymous CVS tree is actually a copy of the production CVS tree. I would recommend using anonymous rsync. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

I just tried the login and checkout commands (from an account on a machine that knows nothing about franz/cvs.r-project.org) and they seem to be working fine. Did somebody fix things? If not, shall I remove the anonymous CVS access and we only allow rsync.
