I tried what you suggested above. I also checked for a .cvsrc file.
I don't have a .cvsrc file in my home directory and there is nothing
in the cvsrc file on the server. Below is the trace of commands I 
did and there output.

$ cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.41a (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.41 (client/server)

$ ll rg_config.sh

it." -f rg_config.sh
