Summary: cvs does not understand SSH

Initial Comment:
The cvs.exe provided with msys does not appear to
support ssh protocol. Suggest replacing it with cvs
from www.cvsnt.org which works fine from DOS and msys.

No, I did not set CVS_RSH=ssh. I am using WinCVS and CVSNT
and the CVSROOT is defined there. I renamed msys cvs to
cvs_old, and in msys shell I receive the following error:

$ cvs_old.exe status .
cvs_old.exe status: unknown method in CVSroot:
:ssh;key='H:/.ssh/id_rsa.ppk':johnc@cvsserver:/cvsroot
cvs_old.exe [status aborted]: Bad CVSROOT.

Using cvs from cvsnt.org works fine.

I assume its simply my misunderstanding how to get msys cvs
to use ssh. For the moment, I will use the cvsnt.org version.

Did you set CVS_RSH=ssh?

I use CVS with SSH daily.
