Unable to connect to CVS: to Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.5 (client/server).

[Abdul Khan]

Hi,


Platform: Red Hat Linux 6.0
CVS: to Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.5 (client/server).

        I am facing problem while connecting to Concurrent Versions System 
(CVS) 1.10.5 (client/server). 
When I give the command as follows in order to connect to the cvs server:

cvs -d :pserver:abdul@cmos17561:/usr/local/cvsroot login
(Logging in to abdul@cmos17561)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: received broken pipe signal


I get the error message as cvs [login aborted]: received broken pipe signal. I 
have checked 2401 port which the CVS server uses, it works fine but still I get 
the above message


Regards,

Abdul
