Hm... Where did you get that command from?

the "username" bit is obviously a placeholder for your account. However,
I assume that you don't have an account for the Hurd CVS so far; so what
you really want is annonymous CVS. This is explained at:

   http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=hurd

BTW, the above command seems wrong anyways: AFAIK all options must go
first, i.e. the branch (-r zhengda-soc2008-virt-branch) must go before
the module name (hurd)...

So, the correct command is:

   cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/hurd co -r 
zhengda-soc2008-virt-branch hurd
