You probably want to use the "internal" RSH protocol built into
jCVS so that it will handle the password problem for you.  You
should be getting this behavior by default, unless you are running
under Solaris or have added a "jCVS.rshCommand.default" property
to your jcvsrc file. Are either of these cases true?
