You can avoid the "-d :pserver:..." on the command line by setting your
CVSROOT environment variable, e.g.:

CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.hpc.uh.edu:/home/cvs/majordomo export CVSROOT

in sh/ksh or

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous@cvs.hpc.uh.edu:/home/cvs/majordomo

in csh/tcsh. Once your working directory is populated (by checkout),
the root string is recorded in the .../CVS/Root file and not longer
needed in $CVSROOT or on the command line for commands using the working
directory (other commands that don't relate to the working directory
will still need it).

BTW, what version of CVS is your server running? There are compatibility
issues between later 1.9.xx versions and anything earlier, so users
running earlier client versions may have problems.
