rsh is broke ?? [solved]

Hi,

I'm new to Arch. I've installed "openssh", "cvs" and "netkit-rsh" packages using pacman.
I can ssh into a remote machine without a problem.
but I can't use cvs to work with a remote repository.

# cvs -d :ext:username@remote_machine/homes/username/CVS co module
just hangs!

i've figured that the rsh command does not run the ssh... hence no logging into the remote machine.

the following command is executed by cvs.... whose results is nothing!
# rsh -l username remote_machine cvs server

by right, rsh should invoke the ssh command, any idea why this doesn't happen?
I know it doesn't happen, because I don't get asked for my password on the remote machine!

thanks,
Shane

rsh needs rshd, which i can't find in pacman.

nevertheless, i got it working with
export CVS_RSH=ssh

I'm getting this error too. It just hangs, and I get an "EOF from server". I've tried to use "export CVS_RSH=ssh", but I still get the same thing =/.

Re: rsh is broke ?? [solved]

Its working fine now, thanks for the replies.

On my first export CVS_RSH=ssh try, the server was (probably) down. Today is working fine.
