I take it you're connecting to a remote server?
Are you using RSH as the transport? What is the value of CVS_RSH?
Assuming you are: is rshd installed? (or is it rexecd, it's been so
long since I installed those Sun RPC facilities) <rpm -q rsh>
If installed, does the server have `rsh' chkconfig'd on? This is
part of the xinetd configuration. <man chkconfig> <man xinetd>
If installed and chkconfig'd on, does the server's
/etc/hosts.{allow,deny} allow such a connection? <man hosts_access>
You can use SSH by setting CVS_RSH to 'ssh'. That's a safer way to
do it anyway.
