Typically you would need to have the Port entry for your CVSROOT host.
For example, the host anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org uses port 2022 for its sshd.
In your $HOME/.ssh/config file:
%<----------%<----------%<----------%<----------%<----------%<----------
Host anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org
ForwardX11 no
ForwardAgent no
Port 2022
%<----------%<----------%<----------%<----------%<----------%<----------
Your CVSROOT might contain this:
:extssh:[email protected]:/cvs
or (depending on the release of CVS you are using)
:ext:[email protected]:/cvs
and you might checkout the modules file using the command:
cvs co -p CVSROOT/modules
The other method to deal with this is using CVS_RSH
CVS_RSH=$HOME/my-ssh-script; export CVS_RSH
CVSROOT=:ext:[email protected]:/cvs/path; export CVSROOT
Then using a $HOME/my-ssh-script something like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec ssh -p 2022 -x -a ${1+"$@"}
which lets you hardcode the port number option.
