I'm behind a firewall during the week these days too.  Quite frustrating 
as Mac OS X's proxy support is not so smooth.

Your question reminded me that I fiddled with this CVSGrab problem a 
while ago, but I forgot what the result was.  After some more 
frustration, I rediscovered that the problem with it is that it works 
with ViewCVS but not CVSWeb (which is what sources.redhat.com uses).

I can get around easily with OpenSSH, but there is no anonymous ssh for 
CVS at sources.redhat.com (nor is there self provisioning like there is 
for SourceForge or Savannah, AFAIK).

I'm pretty sure there is some way to use a SOCKS proxy with pserver, but 
I haven't figured it out (yet):

So once again I've had to punt and tar up the latest CVS sources (by 
using ssh to a machine outside the firewall).  Download it from the 
Files section here:
