[ROOT] CVS access is broken

I haven't tried CVS access for a couple of weeks, but it has always worked
for me before today (I have done it about every two weeks for the last six
months). Today, however, I get "cvs [login aborted]: connect to
root.cern.ch(137.138.170.252):2401 failed: Connection refused". I have tried
it two or three times (separated by an hour or so) today, always getting the
same error.

I have made sure that I have CVSROOT set correctly
(:pserver:cvs@root.cern.ch:/usr/cvs) and that I am using the correct
password (as shown on http://root.cern.ch/root/CVS.html).

Is the ROOT CVS server down/inaccessible or am I doing something wrong?

I am using Linux 7.1, in case that matters.

Thanks,
Tony Colley
