eh !

cvs should invoke the ssh client 

no reason for the ssh daemon to try and run cvs !!!

hmmm....


have you tried the three parts of this seperately

can you ssh to the remote machine ?
(and maybe test sftp and scp between the two machines)

while connected over ssh can you run cvs commands ?

if you set up a test repository on your client machine can you run cvs purely 
locally ?
