   No change.  I still couldn't check out as user sharkey.

   On the assumption that something was wrong with my local account, I started
   unsetting CVS related environment variables.  Eventually, I found one that
   seemed to cause the problem.

   I had CVS_SERVER set to "env LOGNAME=sharkey cvs" which is different than
   the default of just "cvs".  This setting works with the CVS server I use for
   work but the Source Forge server balks on it.  I think it must be a security
   setting that they don't allow CVS accounts to access any executables other
   than cvs.

That's true, as I understand it.  So you're OK now?
