You didn't answer my question.  Is it installed where the files in
CVSROOT expects it.

So, your machine isn't named freefall, so it doesn't matter that it's
the FreeBSD tree or sources.

The commitcheck doesn't/shouldn't allow connections except from
freefall.  The commit script sends email to people, and other
misc. things are assumed if you use the stock files in the FreeBSD CVS
tree.
