  Not exactly ! Since ssh transaction requires an interactive
  sequence during which password is required and send ! Hence
  if such a dialog is not allowed by pclcvs is wouldn't work !
  That exactly what append : when I issue # cvs up in the
  consol ssh password is required but when I try to use pclcvs
  instead NOTHING is required AT ANYTIME !!! and *cvs* buffer
  contains : 

Repository : :ext:root@jabberwocky:/web/srv/sources/cvs
Module     : lorenzon/Mathematique
Working dir: ~/Mathematique/



Message: cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages 
if any)
Message: Connection closed by 192.168.0.5

--------------------- Empty ---------------------
-- last cmd: cvs -f -n update -d -P --

I issued PRECISELY the same command as above in the consol and
it WORKS PERFECTLY !!!
