CVS :ext: ssh Jira Integration

The following information is probably only relevant to Linux/Unix/OSX/Cygwin environments.

In order to use the :ext: method for connection to CVS, the CVS_RSH environment variable needs to be set in the environment that runs JIRA. It should be set to the path to the ssh binary.

put this in your profile
CVS_RSH=`which ssh`
export CVS_RSH

One user reported the following:

The problem was found to be the UsePAM directive in sshd_config on the
cvs server(Debian-Sarge) - this needs to be disabled (which it wasn't)
with the PasswordAuthentication enabled.
