I agree, but it isn't much trouble to set one simple environment variable.

I guess this would generate a lot of stupid questions on mailing lists 
and problems,
it isn't standard behavjor for CVS is it? I think it shouldn't default

that isn't in base by default.. So unless we put SSH in base I think we 
should stick
to rsh (just my humble opinion).
