When I did it, I didn't try to use ssh to the CVS server. I assume you
are trying to connect to CVS server from your client. Then you just
set CVS_RSH variable and use the :ext: stuff for the root and use cvs as
you normally would. The cvs client will invoke ssh and communicate with
the server, not the other way around.
