I got a timeout problem while trying to make a CVS update of my SourceForge project.Ever saw something like this ?!?

cvs -z3 -d:ext:troeger@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/condor-ext update
cvs.sourceforge.net: Operation timed out
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)


The reason is simple, you need to tell CVS that it has to use SSH for the connection:
export CVS_RSH=ssh

Even though I already knew that, I made a mistake within the script that calls CVS. I found the solution by forcing CVS to be a little more verbose, using the -t option.
