One or two :-)

I'm not sure which web site you're referring to, but the manual is
available at ximbiot.com, and in particular the "troubleshooting"
appendix (http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.23/cvs_21.html#SEC198)
says this about the error message:

<quote>
 cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from server

    This message typically means that the server is not set up properly.
For example, if ?inetd.conf? points to a nonexistent cvs executable. To
debug it further, find the log file which inetd writes
(?/var/log/messages? or whatever inetd uses on your system). For
details, see Trouble making a connection to a CVS server, and Setting up
the server for password authentication.
