Ah, now I get it! I didn't realise that cvs normally used rsh for the
file transfers. I was assuming it used its own protocol and TCP port.
Now this makes a lot of sense. Is this something I can do right now,
or does something need to be set up on the server side before I can do
this? BTW, that is supposed to be CVS_RSH, not RHS, right?
For some reason, I don't seem to have ssh access to the htdig.org system
anymore, at all. I used to be able to do "ssh htdig.org some command",
it would ask for my password, and do the command. Now, htdig.org doesn't
resolve to an IP address, so I tried www.htdig.org and cvs.htdig.org, but
both give me Permission denied.

And I assume that the SSH key is generated using ssh-keygen, correct?
Anyway, please let me know when things are set up to do this at the
server end, and I'll set it up at my end.
