That doesn't tell me what I need to know to try ssh again.  It says

   You
   have to register a CVS/SSH Shared key in the Account Maintenance page
   for the machine from which you run cvs.

but `Account Maintenance' isn't linked and I couldn't find what it's
referring to.

The URL above implies that I should set up SSH only to use SSH v1,
which I don't wish to do.  I guess it's possible to do it
machine-by-machine, in which case the instructions should be explicit.

Telling people to `export CVS_RSH=ssh' without qualification seems
unwise, partly because that's bash-specific as far as I know, and
partly because it might clobber uses of remote CVS repositories which
don't use SSH.

Since I seem to have lost access to the old repository I can't
currently work on w3 and url.

Is the same thing going to happen with the Emacs repository?
