For the URLs below, please download 
http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/source/stable/1.11.22/cederqvist-1.11.22.html.tar.bz2
to your home directory and put a copy of it in /tmp.
cd /tmp
tar -xjvf cederqvist-1.11.22.html.tar.bz2

the Fine Manual starts here:
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs.html

you probably are looking for:
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_2.html#SEC23
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_2.html#SEC9
and
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_21.html#SEC189

But if this is your first time working with CVS I suggest reading at least all 
of sections 1, 2 & 3 before doing much else.
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_1.html#SEC1
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_2.html#SEC9
file:///tmp/cederqvist-1.11.22.html/cvs_3.html#SEC38

First question: which connection method are you trying to use?
Second question: did you allow that method to pass through the firewall?
third question: are you seeing SELinux messages in /var/log/messages, when you 
attempt to do cvs operations?

In general the specifics of problems with CVS and F9 will probably come down 
to the answers you give to the above questions, if the info is not in cederqvist.
