There certainly are some files in CVSROOT that 'co' does not give you:  
those such as 'passwd' that are restricted to administrative use. You have
to login to the server and edit those files manually. I don't know about
'modules' specifically. There is a full manual at 'cvshome' known by its
author's name: "the Cederqvist" ('-quist'?). Look in the 'Administrative
Files' section.
