Hey there!
I'm trying to run OpenBSD under the latest VmWare server, but i've got

some problem: i can't use cvs to check out the repositories. It hangs at

the connecting phase. It's strange, cause ftp and http connection works,

like i can fetch the ports.tar.gz via wget or the ftp client...but thats

a bit outdated, so i want to use cvs. I've tried the simple cvs checkout

command with CVSROOT variable, and the login method with pserver, none

of them succeeded.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank You for all your help, but i didn't have time to try it out. And

today VirtualBox 1.5.0 came out which supports OpenBSD 4.x, so i'll use

that one instead of VmWare.

The problem is not VMWare...it's your setup.  I have 8 guests running

3.8 - 4.1 running on ESX 3.0.1, all of them can grab stuff from CVS

without an issue.  Unless you fix the problem, you'll experience the

same results running VirtualBox guests.

troubleshoot, troubleshoot, troubleshoot.
cvs uses ssh as its transport, so can you ssh into/out of the box?
can you ssh to your ssh repository?

  $ ssh anoncvs@anoncvs.<whatever>.org

should return something semi-interesting.
  $ telnet anoncvs.whatever.org 22

should also try to work.
Almost certainly, however, you are doing something incorrect.  You have

provided a diagnosis, not a set of symptoms, so I can't say much else

other than I doubt your diagnosis, as I've done it, it works.  Most

likely, it is not at all VMware related (unless your vmware networking

is screwed up), but rather something like filtering or even incorrect

CVS usage messing you up.
