Chaitanya Pinnamaneni commented on JENKINS-4687:
------------------------------------------------
We should also allow for CVS plugin to perform variable expansion on "Private
Key Location" and "Known Hosts Location". This would be helpful while
configuring slaves. This doesnt seem to work currently.

> Hello,
> I installed Hudson in a debian machine and configured a project with SVN over
> SSH. This worked like a charm and I had my project in less than 5 minutes.
> When I tried to get the same working with CVS + SSH my problems started.
> Apparently hudson is installed as a service in debian, which runs with the
> hudson user. I tried to configure the .ssh folder in this user's home
> directory
> and add the required keys there to fetch the source from CVS. This got me a
> bit
> further but then the keys needed to be unlocked. I thought of using ssh-agent
> to
> unlock it, but I had no information on the hudson's user password (if there
> is one).
> At this point I quit this approach killed the process and started it with the
> following command line under my user account:
> java -jar /usr/share/hudson/hudson.war
> With my user account as owner of the process the ssh keys are available and
> everything works fine.
> I suppose there is a better way of doing this but I could not find it. Maybe a
> similar approach as we have already for SVN over ssh would be ideal.
> Thx and best regards,
> Luciana Moreira
