Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi James -- the story is that your invocation is trying to actually log in to
the cvs.savannah.gnu.org host.  That's not supported.  Instead, you want to
tell cvs to use ssh.  There are specific examples in the "source code" pages
for projects, but the basic story is something like:

CVS_RSH=ssh; export CVS_RSH
cvs -d:ext:address@hidden:/sources/foo co foo

to get a writable checkout of a GNU project foo.  (An anonymous read-only
checkout is also possible, but is done differently.)

Hope this helps,
Karl
