It looks like you did everything right, the problem may be that your module
name and the name of the directory are the same. I haven't tried this sort
of setup here, preferring instead to use the alias mechanism. Perhaps trying
something like:
foo ex a b
in your modules file will work a little bit better. After this try:
cvs co foo
and it should create a directory "foo" in your current directory. If you
don't have the "ex" entry in your modules file it will also work as expected.
The modules mechanism does have it's bugs, mostly having to do with nested
aliases, but they can be worked around without too much trouble.
BTW: I'm posting followups to comp.sources.bugs, since that seems to be a
better place for this discussion.

Thank you for all answers. My mistake was that I used version 1.0 of
cvs with rcs5.5. As I heard, I have to use cvs1.2. Actually I get this
version from a server here in europa. I tested this version and it
work.
Thanks you
