yup.

hmmm. no account on the CVS repository server. If you don't have
an account on the CVS server then how do you know for sure the
tree looks like what you show above :-).

I am stumped then.  Consider the commands you were using - they
all included your_name at ip_addr which implies that you are going to
log in to an account on the machine.

If you are going to avoid pserver and use ext and ssh then you need
to have an account on the CVS machine.  At least that's how it works for
me in my shop and at sourceforge.
