A small problem with a CVS server

[Reinstein, Shlomo]

Hi,

I am playing a little bit with a CVS server that was created for testing
purposes. When I try to check-out the files of a module directly to the
current directory, I get an error:

C:\Work>cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/cvs/cvsroot get -d.
-l my_project
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [checkout aborted]: no repository

Why do I get this error message? If I don't use the client/server model
(that is, if I mount the repository locally and use ":local:"), then it
works fine.
I use CVS version 1.10.7 (client).
