I was surprised to find that "cvs --allow-root=/blah server" doesn't honour
the global flag.
This is a shame since I'm trying to get secure ssh-based access to CVS,
using sshd's 'command="cvs --allow-root=/blah server"' in
~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 - this seems to be the standard way to get ssh access
to CVS.
(Summary of setup at http://ioctl.org/unix/cvs/server )

How-To-Repeat: Just try it.

This is not FreeBSD problem. FreeBSD is using externally maintained 
cvs sources. Please submit patch to cvs maintainers and it will 
go to src/ tree with next contrib/cvs import.
