Need help about setting up an anonymous account (on Ubuntu 8.04 server)

[Mike Huang]

Hello,
 
I need help on how to set up an anonymous (read/download only) cvs account on 
Ubuntu server (8.04LTS). A cvs version boundled with the Ubuntu server was 
installed, and configuered (using pserver). I added cvs user accounts for cvs 
users on the server, and installed TotorisCVS for Windows' clients. They are 
working Ok. 
 
Now I want to add an anonymous account for future open source development to 
allow developers remotely view/download files using anonymous account (no 
password, read/download files only). I followed the instructions, given in 
Essential CVS, 2nd Ed, 8.8.1 "You can grant anonymous, read-only access to CVS 
using pserver. Set up the passwd file in the CVSROOT directory with the user 
anonymous (or any other username) with no password or system name, and add the 
user anonymous to the readers file". But I got error message. Can you help?
