Whenever you're having any kind of problem with SSH, particularly with
trying to execute a command on a remote server, you should always try a
very simple command with full debugging turned on. May favourite
command to try is 'id' because it not only has short output, but its
output is predictable and a useful test on its own:
ssh -v host.domain id
If the user can do that then the problem is not likely with SSH but
rather with how CVS invokes SSH, or with the CVS client itself. If it
doesn't work then try that also on the client machine where CVS seems to
work OK and compare the differences.
