Re: [Boost-users] Read-only access to boost repository via WinCVS

Rene, 
I've entered what you suggeted and WinCVS said:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost init 
cvs init: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password
cvs [server aborted]: "init" requires write access to the repository

What should I do next? 
I _don't_need_ write-access, actually. 
My target is only to get current versions of some files (w/o checking them out) and check what files from repository differ from my local copies.
Thanks, 
Alex.
