I forwarded your query to myself along with rejecting it at the

goes to the programmers not the users.  And you do not need to be a
member of the list to submit to it.  Since you plan to run a MNJ being
on the mnj list is a good thing.

This suggests that something did not work during your installation or
that you have changed something since.  Are you running the MNJ under
the same user ID as you did the installation?  The .cvspass file is
written in the $HOME area of the installation user.

Check your $HOME area for this file.  If it is not there, try doing
what it suggests:

/usr/bin/cvs -d  :pserver:anoncvs at mnj.aoc.nrao.edu:/home/aipssrc/cvs

When prompted for a login simply hit the enter key.
