Actually CVS will work just fine with the default :ext: method being ssh
instead of rsh.  It'll even work just fine if you explicitly set
CVS_RSH=ssh in your environment:

14:54 [2991] $ cd m-cvs
/work/woods/m-cvs
14:54 [2992] $ cat CVS/Repository                                              
/home2/cvsroot/ccvs
14:54 [2993] $ cat CVS/Root        
:pserver:anonymous@cvs.cyclic.com:/home2/cvsroot
VS_RSH=ssh cvs -t status README                                               <
 -> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.cyclic.com:/home2/cvsroot
