[platform-cvs-dev] CVS extssh session reuse

["Kirk Wolf" <kirk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a client that has a CVS / SSH server that requires a password
generated by a RSA hardware token.   Using Eclipse / CVS  works, but
requires that the use supply a new password every time that a Team/CVS
request is made.

Actually, the behavior is that several requests can be made reusing
the same SSH session, but if the session is inactive for a period of
time, then it is terminated and a new one is required.

Is there a way to increase the "keep alive" / time for reusing the
same SSH session?  I would even be willing to hack the source code if
someone could point me to the general area.

Of course, we have considered using public/private key pairs, but
their installation won't allow that :-)

Thanks for any help,
