Securing CVS

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


For those of you who aren't aware, you can tunnel your CVS session over
ssh by setting the following env vars:

CVSROOT=:ext:cvs.linuxkb.org:/home/cvs
CVS_RSH=ssh

as always, login with:
cvs login <username>

If you haven't done already, setup up ssh for RSA keys and even better use
the ssh agent.  I use the following in my ~/.bash_profile:

# BEGIN SSH-AGENT
if [ $TERM = "linux" ]
        then
        echo "Starting ssh-agent..."
        eval `ssh-agent`
        ssh-add
fi                     

To setup the agent.
