Are you sure you want to use rsh?  ssh would be a lot more secure (and
possibly easier to set up.  Search for "cvs ssh windows howto" on
google).

If you want to stick with rsh, I would recommend checking the logs on
the cvs server machine for any error messages that would help (most
likely some file in /var/log. I would look in /var/log/messages,
var/log/syslog, /var/log/daemon.log, and /var/log/auth.log, but your
system may be different).
