Hi Ben,

'twould be nice, yeah.  Unfortunately (-t added for more verbose output):

   cvs -t -d ':pserver:anonymous at camlcvs.inria.fr:/caml' co -r release309 ocaml 
   -> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at camlcvs.inria.fr:/caml
   -> safe_location( where=(null) )
   -> Connecting to camlcvs.inria.fr(128.93.11.23):2401
  PAM start error: Critical error - immediate abort
  Fatal error, aborting.
  cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from camlcvs.inria.fr: pam failed to release authenticator
   -> Lock_Cleanup()
