OH. it does skip the directory, that sounds fine to me. Ruediger
obvioulsy deleted that directory for some reason (eventually because it
moved to /web now)

Works for me [TM]. (I copy&pasted your Command)

I wonder what it seeks in CVS/Entries, thats a File which exists on
Clientside only, it stores which Files you already have and in which
version. A checkout should actually generate that file, while an update
should update it.

Serverside there is only CVSROOT/ which is important for the Server.

My Clients are 1.11.2-debian and 1.11.1p1 (OBSD Ports Collection)
The Server is 1.11.2-debian.

Clients are Debian Sid and OBSD 3.1-current, Server is Debian Testing.


Please let me know when i can be of further Help,
