I was following the instructions at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html export CVSROOT=anoncvs at anoncvs2.at.openbsd.org:/openssh export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh cvs get openssh_cvs and I got the following error: cvs server: cannot find module `openssh' - ignored cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules Using the mindrot server worked just fine, but I wanted to report the problem. -matt
