No it is incorrect. The server_args should be just as in this example:

> cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server 10.5.68.161 rejected
access to /usr/local/cvsrep/ for user cvs
That is a different error to the subject of this thread.
The error "authorization failed" usually means that you are not
authorized, common causes are:
* wrong passord
* incorrect SystemAuth setting in /usr/local/cvsrep/CVSROOT/config
* problem with /usr/local/cvsrep/CVSROOT/passwd
Instead of all bother with pserver (which is not recommended anyway)
just try ssh:
cvs -d :ssh:myuser at 10.5.68.161:/usr/local/cvsrep/ rls
Where 'myuser' is a REAL login to 10.5.68.161 (ie: one that can be used
with ssh).

Arthur
