If you were stuck for this long, it almost certainly means a CVS process has died and left a stale lock in the repository. Someone needs to go in and delete it manually. The problem isn't specific to anonymous access; that's not to say it mightn't be a good thing to get anoncvs out of the main repository and on to some kind of mirror. p.
