RE: Secure remote CVS

This is covered here:
http://sfdocs.sourceforge.net/sfdocs/display_topic.php?topicid=18

You might need to set up RhostsRSA authentication. Plain rhosts is
considered non-secure.

Another good link, is, of course, http://www.ssh.org/faq.html, which
discusses various methods of authentication and +/- of them.

: We have a lot of source code that needs to be kept secure.  Right now,
: we're using a LAN protected from the outside world by a firewall,
: and that seems to be working.

: Now we'd like to be able to use CVS over considerably longer
: distances, securely.
: 
: I recommended setting CVS_RSH=ssh, and was told that the users
: then had to type in their password for every file being transferred,
: and that is more typing than they're willing to put up with.
: 
: We're not about to use straight pserver, for security reasons.
: 
: There has got to be a way to log into a remote server securely,
: but I don't know enough about the networking involved.
: 
: Any pointers?
