I decided to get into the CVS code myself and look around as to what could be
happening. Here is what I have found. I'm not certain how to fix this or if it can
be fixed, but could someone tell me if I'm on track or way off base.
In looking at the file client.c, it seems that CVS is using CVS_RSH, CVS_Hostname, and
CVS_username to create the SSH command that is then executed automatically, assuming
that CVS_RSH is equal to SSH. However, in order to make CVS work properly, you must
set CVS_hostname equal to cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net. SSH requires that
cvs_hostname must be simply projectname.sourceforge.net.
It would seem to be a simple process to remove the "cvs." from the hostname prior to
executing the SSH command. If this isn't correct for all users, maybe add a switch or
option flag to CVS to indicate whether this should be done or not.
I'll check with Sourceforge as well.
Thanks in advance.

It's worth a shot.

OK. I can understand that. But what is a solution to this. It still
appears to me that CVS is passing over the wrong SSH parameters. If CVS
would simply fire off the correct SSH command, then it would solve my
problem. Can I create a batch file (sshx.bat) and set CVS_RSH to sshx.bat
and execute something else that way?
