Do you, in fact, have a CVS pserver set up? In my experience, the far
more common way is to do CVS-over-ssh:
CVS_RSH=ssh
CVSROOT=cvs.example.com:/usr/local/cvsroot
export CVS_RSH CVSROOT
cvs checkout myproject
This requires remote login ability on cvs.example.com, and that the
repository in fact be rooted in /usr/local/cvsroot there; substitute
appropriately in the above recipe. You could use 'cvs -d' instead of
setting CVSROOT, but you do need to set CVS_RSH in the environment
regardless.
