cvs access error

[Danish Siddiqui]

Hi,
I created a cvs server on linux. CVS version 1.11.

I created the cvsroot under /usr/local using the following command

#cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot init

Although I don't have any projects under it as of now..

At present I'm trying to access it from windows using wincvs, but its 
giving me an error
*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****

:pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvsroot

this is the way Im logging in. It asks me for a password, but then shows 
me the error..

Please advise
