	I'm running the following command to update my sources,

cd /usr/src
cvs update -P -rnetbsd-1-6 sys/kern/kern_sysctl.c

	I get the following error message in return

cvs [server aborted]: no such directory `sys/kern'
ssh: zathras.local: No address associated with hostname
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages 
if any)

	I'm leaving off the "-d" flag because I've set the $CVSROOT variable 
already.

echo $CVSROOT

	gives me this

echo $CVSROOT
anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot

	If I run a similar command without specifying the release BRANCH,

cvs update -P -r sys/kern/kern_sysctl.c

	things work.  Without specifying a BRANCH, won't I get current sources?
