Let me spell it out more completely: It's a server problem. Either the server is misconfigured, in which case *any* CVS operation will fail; or the server is running a defective version of CVS, in which case only login will fail. If there are people who have directories checked out from the server and they can still do things like update or log, then you know that it's a defective version of CVS. If there aren't any such people that you can check with, try telnetting to the CVS server: telnet cvs.myhost.com 2401 If the connection is immediately closed, then the server is misconfigured (most likely, the path to CVS is wrong in the /etc/inted.conf file). If the connection stays open, hit return and you should get a "bad auth protocol start" error which indicates that the server is a bad version (1.10.6 if memory serves).
