I can, but only if I include the -rRELENG_4_10 part.

If there were a file in the way, you'd see something like

The reason why I think this is a server issue is that there is no
reference to /home/ncvs on my system besides the CVSROOT variable. Of

what it could be.

I take is that it doesn't matter if you've got it set or not, as long as
you want to use ssh.
