Actually, the problem is that Sun's default id command is ancient;
please make sure that /usr/xpg4/bin is in your path before /usr/bin so
that you get reasonably standard versions of commands. Note that this
is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak; you'll probably find that
other commands are not sufficient for the CVS test suite as well. In
particular, the id failure does *not* explain why basica-notadded
failed. Please read TESTS if you haven't already done so.

You don't have to join the list to send messages to it. (And note,
please, that bugs are supposed to go to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not info-cvs.)
