First, your suggestion:

$ cvs -t -d :aaron@ritalin:/cvsroot co project
cvs checkout: unknown method in CVSroot: :aaron@ritalin:/cvsroot
cvs [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT.

Next, I take out the leading colon:

$ cvs -t -d aaron@ritalin:/cvsroot co project
cvs checkout: notice: main loop with CVSROOT=aaron@ritalin:/cvsroot
 -> Starting server: rsh ritalin -l aaron cvs server 
permission denied
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages
if any)


But neither work to launch ssh. I used the launch commands on a
sparc/sol box, and the starting server line correctly specified that it
was using ssh. Is there something that cvs is doing to fall back to rsh
for some reason?
