| Please do not summarize or truncate error messages when you report them
| -- there are a number of similar messages and that makes it impossible
| to tell exactly which one you are getting.  Assuming your server is on a
| Unix-like system, there should be messages in your syslog that may help
| diagnose the problem.  It would appear that CVS is either not reading
| your passwd file or is not interpreting it correctly.  You are creating
| it, by hand, directly in the repository rather than trying to create it
| in a checked-out copy somewhere, right?  Also, what version of CVS are
| you running?
