If jCVS cannot be configured to use a password with an external RSH, then
how can it be used with SSH in a public-key setup?  My SSH requires
authorized keys on both ends, and then asks for a pre-configured password
to match the keys.  how can 

even if I use the property --
  jCVS.rshCommand.default=E:/WinNT/System32/rsh.exe

to point to my SSH, I don't see how I can configure it to use the proper
SSH authorization.

BTW, I'm trying to connect to a FreeBSD box from a  Win32 box.

Also, is there a list of properties somewhere similar to the above?  

Cheers,
