Using :fork: is probably a better solution to your particular need. It
acts as client/server without needed to use rsh or ssh transport as
:ext: needs.

Yup. I still advocate that :pserver: should be removed or at least never
compiled by default... (The authentication business should be left to
the operating system and NOT poorly managed by a user-level program like
CVS.)
