The cvs.html file has probably changed since then, specifically it has
been modified to split the anonymous cvs repository to pserver.samba.org
and the writable cvs repository staying at cvs.samba.org.  According
to the CVS logs this split was done in October 2000.

There are instructions for "reparenting" a cvs repository using some
simple unix commands on the new cvs.html page.

I'm sorry the new version of your book has the old information in it -
that's a real bummer.  )-:
