    <p>Try setting this in your environment somehow:</p> <pre><code>export CVS_RSH='ssh -o PreferredAuthentications="password"' </code></pre> <p>That should get it to stop attempting publickey authentication, which will also suppress the display of the graphical ssh-askpass. This works by specifying the SSH command that CVS will use for connecting to the remote server. Please note that this will apply to all CVS commands run from the context in which you set the environment variable.</p> <p>You may also want to look into setting it up in your <code>~/.ssh/config</code>. You can set options for each host separately. <a href="http://www.thinkplexx.com/learn/howto/security/ssh/ssh-key-authentication-specifying-alternative-identity-files-like-id_rsa-for-different-hosts" rel="nofollow">Here's a page that roughly shows how</a>, although for forcing publickey auth. Please note that this will affect all SSH usage for your user account, not just for CVS. That may very well be what you're looking for, since you seem to prefer avoiding publickey auth. Here's an example of the block you'd add in <code>~/.ssh/config</code>:</p> <pre><code>Host cvs Hostname cvs.your.corp User yourCVSusername PreferredAuthentications password </code></pre> <p>Alternately, you could change <code>Host cvs</code> to <code>Host cvs.your.corp</code> if your existing means of accessing this uses a FQDN instead of just a hostname.</p> <p>Lastly, you could have your <code>~/.ssh/config</code> file by just this one line (or add it to the top of your existing one):</p> <pre><code>PreferredAuthentications password </code></pre> <p>That will make the preference apply to all SSH connections to remote hosts.</p> <p>Best of luck. I hope this gets you out of the modal dialog trap.</p>
