Ack!  Before everyone under the sun claims to have found a problem: the 
user that the anon cvs pserver is running under can't create lock files 
in the src dirs inline w/ the code).  A few things can happen:

1)  Add the cvs pserver user to the pgsql group and add write privs to 
the dirs for the user (chmod -R g+w *)

2)  Add a LockDir in the cvs config.

  cvs co CVSROOT
  cd CVSROOT
  echo "LockDir /tmp/cvsroot" >> config
  cvs ci -m "Adding a central lock dir to the anoncvs server" config
  mkdir /tmp/cvsroot
  chmod 1777 /tmp/cvsroot
  chown root.wheel /tmp/cvsroot

  I think that should do it...  -sc
