Re: cvs checkout hangs with ssh2?

[Rob Helmer]

Given the patch info you just posted, I imagine it has been removed
from the open FreeBSD bug reports.

Ok, so I will now tell people to upgrade to patch level 2 if they
want to use SSH as an RSH replacement :) I will try it myself
first as well, as there's no other good reason for me to be using
SSHv1.

Thanks for checking into it Mark!
