Thank you for reporting this problem.  I am able to reproduce the
problem.  But it isn't related to anonymous logins as those actually
have never existed.  It's about the command line usage documented on
that page which is not correct.

I see that the documentation on that page is broken.  There is a space
now added to the line that should not be there.

> "cvs -t -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:sources/www co ccvs login"

That's not quite what the page says to do though.  The page says this.

    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org: /sources/www co www

Which has a space added in an breakign place.  Remove that space.
This following line works.

    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/www co www

Try that and it should be working for you.

Thank you again for reporting this problem! :-)
