Can I setup CVSROOT with remote access?

Question

I created a cvs repository in my school network account, I would love to have the access to it using my local machines at home. I tried, at local, setting CVSROOT variable to be "myUserID@schoolServer:/u/myUserId/cs/csvroot", but it complains, about the $CVSROOT value, when I tried to use it. I also tried "cvs -d " option, but still not working. What can I do? thank you

Try setting CVS_RSH to ssh (or whatever you use to access schoolServer.).
