Hi Glen - thanks for the reply.. I figured it was a Tortoise issue since
the command line CVS worked OK on the host itself.. However...

No firewall (well, not on these boxes - that's all handled at the
network border(s), I digress) - however I'd forgotten to check the base
xinetd config in xinetd.conf, and it was restricting service access to
localhost only.. Whoops!

That's a shame - would make Tortoise pretty useless (for me) if it only
worked with files stored on the local PC :( In which case, I might have
to go back to just using the command line tools on the server (which is
where the files are also stored, shared via Samba). I'll give it a shot 
and see what happens..

I'd noticed that - but have been running plain cvs for a little while so 
just kept on as I had been, I might try it out on the standby Linux box 
though - shame there's no Gentoo ebuild for it really, I'll have to 
(shock, horror) manually build it.. :)

Anyhow - thanks for the reply Glen - you were right, it wasn't a
Tortoise issue, and you reminded me to check something I'd forgotten to
look at :) All working now :) (Apart from when WindowBlinds is running, 
and then all the dialogs are blank :/ )
