Ok, there is a way. However, I hesitate to show you that way, since you
are "root", obviously a power-user, and can't find the method to do so by
yourself...
Anyhow, using the following method, I've been able to do what you wish:
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot
PS: Do you know *WHY* cvs will not let you run things as root?
