From the command line checkout the firefish module via ssh2:

export CVS_RSH=ssh 
cvs -d:ext:`whoami`@portnoy.lbl.gov:/home/portnoy/u3/src checkout firefish

With a GUI client, use cvs with ssh2 to login into

portnoy.lbl.gov

For eclipse users: The eclipse connection type is "extssh2". You will probably need the eclipse extssh2 plugin.

The repository is under

/home/portnoy/u3/src

There, the module is called

firefish

Should describe CVS access options in a more concise manner and possibly refer to CVS tutorials.
