Trying to figure out the CVS repository server.
We have an issue where we are able to check out files from unix however not from windows. On Unix I have the cvs host set to /home/group/CVSROOT but when I try and access the folder from windows I get an exception that the server refuses connection.
On unix the CVSROOT is a filer and not the actual repository - trying to use SSH to connect to that server does not work i.e I can check out the repository on Unix but not on Windows. Is this an issue do I need the actual host or is there some CVS setting that is missing for me to be able to checkout the module from windows.
We know the NAS server - however would like to know the actual server that hosts the repository. Is there any way to figure that out use the filer host to connect from Windows.
Any help would be much appreciated.

cvs-switchroot
CVS-SWITCHROOT(1) BSD General Commands Manual CVS-SWITCHROOT(1)
NAME
cvs-switchroot -- change repository or tag in a cvs working copy
SYNOPSIS
cvs-switchroot [-T] newroot [file ...]
cvs-switchroot [-T] - srcpath [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The cvs-switchroot utility manipulates a CVS working copy directly, modifying the information stored in the administrative subdirectory and
saving space by hardlinking if possible.
If the -T option is given, the sticky tag is operated on, otherwise, the repository path (CVSROOT).
The information (Tag or Root) is set to the same as in srcpath if the first non-option argument newroot is a sole dash ('-'), the literal
value newroot otherwise.
EXAMPLES
Change all Root information in the current sandbox to /cvs:
$ cvs-switchroot /cvs .
Set all roots in the current working directory and all its subdirectories to the Root of the parent directory:
$ cvs-switchroot - .. .
Hardlink the Tag information in the current working directory, for example /usr/src, and /usr/ports with each other:
$ cvs-switchroot -T - . . /usr/ports
SEE ALSO
cvs(1)
HISTORY
cvs-switchroot has existed in the MirBSD source tree since 2005. It was added to Debian's cvs package in 2011.
CAVEATS
cvs-switchroot depends on mksh.
