connecting to repository on a linux machine from win2k machine

[Sriram Viswanadham]

Thanks Matt for the reply,

i've tried to connect to the repository on linux
machne from wincvs on my win2000 mahine. Let me put it
in steps i've done to be more clear - 

1. "address@hidden:/usr1/vsriram/myCVSROOT" - here
cin1161 is the machine no of the linux machine, and
the cvsroot is at myCVSROOT. I've specified this as
the CVSROOT in the dialog for menu
'Admin->Preferences'

The first Q i have is - what is to be specified for
the Authentication feild - The list contains
local,pserver,rhosts, ntserver and ssh. 

Since i'm connecting to the repositry on linux, i have
selected 'rhosts'.

2. when i tried to checkout the module named
"Products" from the CVSROOT, the following error
message pops up - 

"cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: cannot fdopen -1 for
write: No such file or directory"

I'm not sure if this is the way it is to be done. Also
i ave not found any relevant help in this regard in
the web.
