Times out for me, too. It looks like it is firewalled, because ssh
access still works, though it doesn't accept my key.

Generating a tarball is disabled in that installation of ViewCVS.
You can download a tarball as of May 9th from
ftp://ftp.nessus.org/pub/nessus/experimental/nessus-2.3.1/src/

ssh still sends the same host key, so it should be the same host.

No. Due to recent abuses, we've had to disable anonymous CVS.

I'm in the process of writing a script which will create nightly
tarballs.

don't know what kind of abuse it was, but wouldn't it make
sense to set up a mirror CVS which is only for anonymous access?
The KDE project used to have this type of setup, their mirror
was a couple of hours behind but that was acceptable.

That way we won't loose the chance to run diff's and log's on
the command line (which would be the case with tarballs).

That was already the case.

now I am really interested in the kind of abuse ;-)

I noticed that my personal account is also disabled, so
I even can't checkout that way ...
