www.apache.org:/www/httpd.apache.org cvs update

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but since the
big cvs/www split I can't seem to update the website.  If I
do

ssh www.apache.org
cd /www/httpd.apache.org
cvs update

I get

cvs update: authorization failed: server cvs.apache.org rejected access to
/home/cvspublic for user anoncvs
cvs update: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password

What am I doing wrong here?

Joshua.

apparently it was setup to use anoncvs to update the website.  so you need
to do as it says; before your cvs update, do a "cvs login", password is
probably anoncvs.  Then it will work once the .cvspass file in your home
dir is updated...
