Problem with CVS access to current sources

Dear PostgreSQL gurus,

first of all, many thanks to everyone involved in writing and
enhancing PostgreSQL! It has grown enourmously during the last
months and is a most impressive system.

Sorry if this has been dealt with, but in the last few days,
I have not been able to access to PostgreSQL anonymous cvs server.

The command

  cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot co -P pgsql

returns

  Fatal error, aborting.
  : no such user

(it's called from a script and has worked flawlessly for quite a while
before; I have not noted any change in the description of CVS access
at the WWW site...). Repeating the cvs login did not change the result
of the checkout call...

I'd very much appreciate any hint on what error I might make ...

Best regards,

Ernst

Yeah, the cvs server at postgresql.org has been broken for a couple days
now.  I'm seeing the same and some other people have complained as well.

Marc, are you awake?

Try it now...I just tried it using anon-cvs from home, and it appears to
work...

Hmm,

I tried (never had cvs access):

mira:~/cvs$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot
mira:~/cvs$ cvs login
(Logging in to anoncvs@postgresql.org)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: incorrect password
mira:~/cvs$

    Regards,

        Oleg

Well, CVS is now working here now, but I'm still getting:

ERROR:  pg_atoi: error in "f": can't parse "f"
ERROR:  pg_atoi: error in "f": can't parse "f"

when running initdb. Heres some more details (from --debug):

It is because there are two copies of initdb in initdb.sh.  Someone
reported the problem, but no one fixed it.
