Are you able to setup ssh-agent and cvs-add your private key to it?  This will
allow ssh not to require the passphrase each and every time you or CVS uses it.
I'm not sure how this works on 95, though.

Subject:  CVS access using SSH




It seems that CVS is trying to send an inaccurate command when attempting to use
SSH and authorized keys.  I am trying to configure my CVS so that it doesn't
require a password each and every time I run it.  I have also used the -t trace
option to determine what CVS is trying to do.  Here is what I found:

CVS tries to execute the following SSH command:

  "ssh cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net -l username cvs server"

If I try to run this very same command at a DOS Prompt (I'm on a Win95 machine),
I get an error that this is a protected shell acount that I cannot access.  If I
remove the "cvs." and the "cvs server" then all works well.

Is there a way to define the specific command sent?  I know that my shared keys
are also set up correctly.

Thanks in advance for the help.
