Don't use a dot. Use the module name. What you had said before was correct:

That is what you want. The project name is the "module" cvs is
talking about there.
cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/web/noob-a-tron co noob-a-tron

The ban time is 10 minutes if you fail 6 times in the last minute.
A high rate of failures looks like an attack. But the ban is only for
ten minutes as a rate limit for rate limiting attacks. It isn't a
hard lock.

Try this:
ssh cvs.savannah.gnu.org
If it says:
...Lots of login information about the system...
...then this below...
...
You tried to execute:
Sorry, you are not allowed to execute that command.
Connection to cvs.savannah.gnu.org closed.
Then it is working. If you see other things then it is not. However
when I look in the (limited) system logs I see that you have
successfully logged into the system. Your pubkey was accepted.
