As a general rule you should enable ssh key exchange on your cvs repository and then the question becomes moot.
From your development machine: 
ssh-keygen -t dsa
(accept the default for all queries)

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh ${repository_host} "mkdir -p .ssh ; cat 
+>> .ssh/authorized_keys"
(enter your password)

$ ssh ${repository_host}echo
(answer "yes")

$ ssh ${repository_host} echo
(Nothing should happen, you should just get your prompt back)

You need to set the following environment variables (put them in your .profile or .bashrc) before you can run any cvs command: 
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ export CVSROOT=${username}@${repositry_host}:/path/to/cvsroot/

Hope that helps
