>Description:
The instructions on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/anoncvs.html say this:

cvs -d anoncvs at anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs co src

However, the server requires password authentication:

$ cvs -d anoncvs at anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs co src
The authenticity of host 'anoncvs1.freebsd.org (96.47.72.116)' can't be established.
DSA key fingerprint is 4e:bc:48:a0:e1:27:0a:62:c8:da:45:31:d4:ad:b2:00.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'anoncvs1.freebsd.org' (DSA) to the list of known hosts.
Password:
^C
$ cvs -d anoncvs at anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs login
cvs login: can only use `login' command with the 'pserver' method
cvs [login aborted]: CVSROOT: anoncvs at anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs

>How-To-Repeat:
run the above command afresh
>Fix:
fix the anoncvs server configuration or the documentation
