    Currently MiNT defaults CVS_RSH to rsh, which doesn't exist in

I do not think this can be changed because not all MiNT systems have the ability to run ssh since a 68020+ CPU is required......

I could be wrong.....

    It can be overridden by setting CVS_RSH=rsh in the environment
    (For my case I set CVS_RSH=ssh to get it to update over ssh),
    I was just wondering if it made sense to adjust the default...

    ssh should run on a 68000, though you may need to adjust
    ConnectTimeout or select Protocol 1 unless you have plenty
    of patience. (NetBSD/sun2 runs on 68010 based sun2 machines
    and includes ssh).


I think the only reason it doesn't run is due to required FPU features which I think you can get just by using -lm in the linking in the 68000 version.
