#1 wincvs connection problem

[geoffrey hendrey]

when I use plink to test if my cvs account is active I
get this:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
C:\ssh>plink geoff_hendrey@cvs.sourceforge.net
echo "SSH public key is in place.
"

Welcome to cvs.sourceforge.net

This is a restricted Shell Account
You cannot execute anything here.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Although this is not what the manual says I should
get back, I gather from a previous posting that
the "restricted shell account" message is OK. (please
confirm my understanding to be write/wrong and why).

Going forward on the assumption that my cvs account
is properly setup, I would like to know why I get the
following WinCVS error when I attempt to add a
file "test.txt".
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
cvs add test.txt (in directory C:\project\RCCS\)
