It means that the /var/cvs/CVSROOT/config file on your system may not be
read due to a permissions problem. One presumes that you have set
CVSROOT=:pserver:<hostname>:/var/cvs on the machine, but that your
/var/cvs/CVSROOT/config file has insufficient permissions to allow
read by either root and/or the user doing the 'cvs login' command.

Check your local filesystem permissions for / /var /var/cvs
/var/cvs/CVSROOT /var/cvs/CVSROOT/config ... are any of those
directories mounted via NFS? If so, then you may need to worry about
the filesystem under the mount point as well.

        Good luck,
