Hi Greg, It doesn't use SSH at all. It uses SSL. :) There are several reasons this is more convenient than SSH: 1. Many users have a hard time setting up a SSH tunnel, whereas CVS_RSH=cvssh seems to be a lot easier for them. 2. Using SSH requires giving the users a unix account on the server, rather than pserver's per-repository user list. 3. AFAIK, SSH doesn't remember your password the way pserver does.
