RE: What should I do with CVS after IP address changed

Since your CVSROOT environment variable is NOT set, you'll
have to do a cvs -d :pserver:<etc> <cvs command> every time.

You don't have the c-shell, but the bash shell, hence the
bash error. Try 
   > set CVSROOT=:pserver:<etc>
   > export CVSROOT

You can add these lines in your /homedir/.bashrc file.
