I don't think we should put a detailed ssh manual into our docs, a
small hint should do, thus I propose the following simplified entry
for cvs-howto.txt:

10. RSA authentication

  Since mplayerhq.hu uses ssh.com and not OpenSSH you will have to convert your
  OpenSSH RSA keys to IETF SECSH format with

    ssh-keygen -e

  if you want to use RSA authentication. See ssh(1) and ssh-keygen(1) for
  details.

It's very terse, but it's on purpose, I think we can safely assume
some familiarity with Unix commands and reading documentation.

Diego
