Works from here. Are you sure you're not firewalled? I don't understand how 
you can receive 'connection refused' after it's already asked you for a 
password - you're already connected by then.

Can you cut and paste exactly what you see?

passion /home/dwmw2 $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@infradead.org:/home/cvs login
(Logging in to anoncvs@infradead.org)
CVS password: 
passion /home/dwmw2 $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@infradead.org:/home/cvs co mtd
cvs server: Updating mtd
cvs [checkout aborted]: received interrupt signal

I do not think this is true.  I have just tried to do a cvs login to a 
unix machine at work which does not have a cvs server.  It still asks me 
for a password regardless of whether a cvs server is running or not.  It 
seems that as long as a valid host name is supplied, then a password 
will be prompted for before trying to communicate with the cvs server.

This would certainly help :)
