Larry:

rohit = system user
readroh = cvs user

I changed $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file. This is how
it has right now:

$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd :
readroh::rohit

$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/readers :
readroh

In .bash_profile :
CVSROOT=":pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs-rep"

As usuall, I am logging to CVS by saying:
'cvs login' and enter by password. Then I say cvs checkout 
'cvs checkout CVSROOT'. All the CVSROOT files come in 
read+write mode.
