Hi Alistair,

You could do your cvs over ssh:

  bash:
    export CVS_RSH=ssh
    export CVSROOT=':ext:auden.lcs.mit.edu:/u/u3/gcmpack'

  csh:
    setenv CVS_RSH ssh
    setenv CVSROOT :ext:auden.lcs.mit.edu:/u/u3/gcmpack


which is working nicely for me--esp. on forge which can't currently
mount /u/u3.

Ed
