Hi Greg,
It doesn't use SSH at all. It uses SSL. :)
There are several reasons this is more convenient than SSH:
1. Many users have a hard time setting up a SSH tunnel,
whereas CVS_RSH=cvssh seems to be a lot easier for them.
2. Using SSH requires giving the users a unix account on
the server, rather than pserver's per-repository user
list.
3. AFAIK, SSH doesn't remember your password the way
pserver does.
