I'm a little confused...are you running CVSNT as your cvs *server*?
If so, then you can use the cvs client that comes w/RH. If you have
your CVSNT set up anything like mine then your CVSROOT probably needs to
start from /home/cvsroot/repos, since the service listening starts to
look their for the checked in modules. So, if you had the project
``foo" checked in your cvsroot would be :pserver:gstarret at stanley:/foo
