In my case, I get something like

address@hidden pdbv]$ cvs -t update 
 -> main loop with address@hidden:/cvsroot/pdbv
 -> Starting server: ssh savannah.nongnu.org -l yeupou cvs server 
Enter passphrase for RSA key '/home/moa/.ssh/identity': 
Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding.
cvs server: Updating .
[...]

This the very first time I see such a trouble. I added
address@hidden in Cc since people like address@hidden now the
most of the details of the subversions installation and maybe can give
some tips.

While crossposting is not a good idea in general, discussion related
to savannah service troubles should always have
address@hidden in Cc, since people there have different
competences and some now things that others do not.

I'm not completely sure that typing command like ssh
savannah.nongnu.org -l yeupou cvs server is similar to typing normal
cvs command that itself start ssh command embedded.

It does not seem relevant to me. 

I can do the following on my server
address@hidden pdbv]$ ssh valkyrie -l root "echo pouet"
Enter passphrase for RSA key '/home/moa/.ssh/identity': 
Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding.
pouet

It only means that a ssh daemon is running out there, and that I can
access it with my passphrase.
