Try running the following set of commands, in the order presented: # cd /tmp # mkdir some-temp-dir # cd some-temp-dir # cvs -d :pserver:cvs@192.168.1.1:/usr/local/cvs checkout myproject More importantly, doesn't "pserver" require that you use "cvs login" first? I always thought it did, but I haven't used the pserver method for a while.
