As long as you have read access to the CVS repository, you should be 
able to check out the code.  You don't need to be that user, and in 
fact you probably don't want to be-- the point of concurrent source 
code control systems is that multiple users have access.

I don't know how much access you have to the CVS server itself, but I'd 
recommend checking out your permissions in the repository.  If you have 
read access you should be able to check out files, and of course you'll 
need write access to commit changes.

In my experience, there will be a 'cvs' group on the server and all 
users with access to the repository will be in that group so they can 
read/write the files in it.

HTH,
