pserver doesn't use RSH (or ssh) -- it's a special protocol
used by CVS.  Well, non-protocol, from what I've heard (I don't
know the details, and I'm not sure I want to...).  It's started
from inetd and listens on port 2401.  

Glad you've got your account working, anyway -- CVS through
a firewall can be a real pain...

Roll on Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/, for those
whole haven't see it...)
