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.
