CVS server problem: checkout of wget; unsupported ident;: msg#00054

Subject: CVS server problem: checkout of wget; unsupported ident;
I am attempting to download the source for wget.

I executed the command:
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@xxxxxxxxxx:/pack/anoncvs login
and it accepted the password of "cvs". (no error)

However, when I try to checkout the wget source, I get:
wget/CVS> cvs -d :pserver:cvs@xxxxxxxxxx:/pack/anoncvs checkout wget
cvs server: cannot find module `wget' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

I am behind a firewall that has the default security policy to deny
traffic not explicitly permitted so I checked my firewall log
to see if my cvs request was being blocked by my firewall.

What I saw seems to indicate a problem in the setup of the cvs server
on sunsite.dk:

Date .time host:port action external host:port [;optional #bytes] 20050813.155057 Ishtar:tcp:38789 -> sunsite.dk:cvspserver(2401/tcp); R:373; S:491 155113 Ishtar:tcp:38790 -> sunsite.dk:cvspserver(2401/tcp); R:373; S:433
        155410  Ishtar:auth(113/tcp)   |< sunsite.dk:tcp:14724
        155414  Ishtar:auth(113/tcp)   |< sunsite.dk:tcp:14724
        155420  Ishtar:auth(113/tcp)   |< sunsite.dk:tcp:14724
        155431  Ishtar:auth(113/tcp)   |< sunsite.dk:tcp:14724
---
The first two lines show the approved outbound traffic to the
sunsite.dk CVS server.  The remaining 4 lines show blocked inbound
traffic to an unsupported "auth" service.  Is the CVS server
set to block anoncvs checkouts if it can't contact an "auth"
service?

BTW, I also tried connecting to a CVS server "@dotsrc.org" in case
it had moved, but my that is apparently (?) not yet supported:

cvs [login aborted]: connect to dotsrc.org(130.225.247.81):2401 failed: Connection timed out


Any help would be appreciated.  I noted a bug in my current copy
of "wget" and wanted to look at the latest source to see if it was
fixed (or if not, submit a patch...:-)).

Thanks,
Linda
