I was unable to reproduce the problem. I did an anonymous CVS 
read-only checkout exactly as described on the Web site 
(http://sources.redhat.com/xconq/cvs.html) and had no problems.

Did you copy and paste the lines, or did you retype them by hand?
Also did you use "anoncvs" (no typos) as the password for the 
login?

Perhaps you just had a transient connectivity issue during 
checkout....

  Thanks,
