You haven't specified any connection method, so CVS is going to default
to using the :ext: method which uses rsh (unless you've set $CVS_RSH to
something else, but you didn't mention it, so I presume you didn't). 
Your server does not accept rsh connections.  If you want to use ssh,
you need to set $CVS_RSH to point to your ssh executable.  Please see
them CVS manual (www.cvshome.org) for more information and
troubleshooting advice, should you need it.
