CVSROOT not used

[Steve Sapovits]

On a new system, I have a different user name/user ID.  I have CVSROOT
set up to account for that, something like this:

  CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot.foo

I get "permission denied" unless I specify this same value with a '-d'
option -- i.e., all works okay with -d command line options but I
always get "permission denied" errors when relying only on the CVSROOT
setting.  I've tried all rsh access manually and it works.  What am I
missing?
