[Users] Fwd: cvs pserver timeout

[Scott Hawley]

Thanks David.  I actually already have "setenv CVS_RSH ssh" set.  I  
see one problem in that GetCactus uses pserver instead of "ext"  
access, and another problem in that I don't actually have a valid  
login at cvs.cactuscode.org in order for ssh to work.
