Good.

As the error indicates, there's no need to run the 'cvs login' command.

There's no GPG-checking for CVS usage.  This error is most likely a SSH key 
mismatch.  Make sure that ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub matches what you've uploaded to 
the Account System.  If you didn't move your old key after switching from 
root to your regular user account, then you might not even have an SSH key 
under that user account, depending upon where your key was originally 
created.  If you're not sure, there would be no harm in uploading the key to 
the Account System again.  Once the key is uploaded, it may take up to an 
hour for the key to propagate to the CVS server.
