WinCVS problem with windows on linux

[Paddy T]

Hi

I have a windows virtual machine running on linux.I
want to set up WinCVS on this machine.
After installing and setting cvsroot,when I try to
check out ,I am getting the error

cvs checkout aborted:cannot log in local user ' '
,cannot login remote user ' ' 
permission denied by rshd.

I have added the machine name in the .rhosts file 
What else is required for Wincvs to run in this setup?
Can anyone advice?
Thanks for any help.

Paddy Thomas
