Right.  You don't mean the CVSROOT module; you mean the repository, which 
is sometimes (but by no means always) found by looking at the $CVSROOT 
environment variable.  This is a common confusion with CVS.

You can find a copy of the CVS repository, or at least the openafs module, 
in /afs/.grand.central.org/project/openafs/cvs.  This copy is updated once 
per day, but be sure to use the RW path -- the volume is replicated but is 
currently not released on a regular basis.

Depending on the resources involved, we can set something like this up in 
the same place that services like cvsweb and wdelta run, and give it 
read-only access to the live repository.  (I don't know what machine Jim is 
talking about, but we _do_ have a couple of machines that provide services 
related to supporting OpenAFS development).
