If you send me more detailed information about when you tried to
access the cvs repository, I can dig in the logs and see if there is
anything useful.

However, I'm going to guess that something about your machine's
name/ip address is not registered in dns properly.  Given the location
of the flightgear server (i.e. it's plugged into the internet) I need
to be at least a little bit concerned about security.  The server is
configured to reject hosts who's name/ip address (both forward and
reverse lookups) is not properly entered in dns.  This hopefully
catches at least some of the more obvious ip spoofing.  FWIW, we do
take a fair bit of port scanning and probes so security is actually a
real issue.  I try my best to keep up with all the latest security
patches for this machine and not leave too many wide open gaping
holes.

Regards,

Curt.
