The standard recommendation is that you do not mount on NFS and use
local access.  Using NFS in other ways may be a bad idea, but IIRC
this hasn't yet been shown.  (BTW, when talking about repository
corruption, "until now it has always worked" isn't a very good reason.
In the first place, unless you specifically check you may miss some
cases of corruption; in the second place, this is sufficiently bad
that you don't want to take chances.)

This is the way it is specified in the manual for 1.11.2; I don't
know how it is specified in earlier versions.  I haven't had to
specify a port (I assume you've got the usual AIX conflict there),
and so don't know if it works in general.

On the other hand, this shows that CVS is not parsing the CVSROOT
as you like, but is assuming 2402 is the start of the repository
location rather than the port.

What version of CVS are you using on AIX and the Solaris?
