CVS diff problem

[Bert Van Kets <be...@vankets.com>]

I am getting pretty frustrated here.
I am trying to make a diff patch with winCVS v1.2
The procedure described below worked, bu I get an access error now.

I do a anoncvs login without any problems (I can do a checkout)
I select the directory that contains the distribution
I type "cvs diff -u" and press enter
This normally gives me a diff of the distribution
The only thing I get now is:

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****

/home/cvspublic
: no such repository
cvs diff: authorization failed: server cvs.apache.org rejected access to 
/home/cvspublic
  for user anoncvs
cvs diff: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password

I have tried a lot of things including changing Internet connection and 
rebooting several times.
Does anybody else have this authentication problem?

To my surprise setting th eoption to force Unix like LF solved the problem.
I'm not sure the result will be usable.  I mailed them to Steven for a check.
