from a unix like environment: export CVS_RSH=ssh or export CVS_RSH=/path/to/ssh (if it isn't in your path) set the CVSROOT export CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic
or use the command line cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic checkout jakarta-ant
from a windoze enviroment use wincvs or use the cvs.exe commanline set CVS_RSH=/path/to/ssh set CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic checkout jakarta-ant
this gets pretty cumbersome because one has to supply the password for every request.
(cvs login works only for the pserver protocol)
so the work around is to use RSA style authentication for ssh vis ssh-agent or via the method described
