Here is proposal for a ssh section of cvs-howto.txt. It covers basic key 
generation, conversion to ssh.com format and submitting it to Arpi.
Any suggestions kindly welcomed :)

Generating and sending ssh keys:
  Typing your account's password each time you want to access CVS is not very
  convenient. Instead you can send a ssh key. To generate it use
  the following command:

    ssh-keygen -t rsa

  NOTE: When it asks for password you may leave it empty.        
  Now, if you are using openssh, you have to convert your public key into
  ssh.com format, since MPlayer's server uses this ssh implementation.
  You can do this simply by executing:
  
    ssh-keygen -e -f yourkey.pub > yourkey_ssh2.pub
    
  NOTE: Replace 'yourkey' with a filename proper for you (the file
  can be found in ~/.ssh directory).
  Mail yourkey_ssh2.pub to Arpi <arpi at mplayer.hq.hu> and, please,
  be patient. As soon as it is installed, you will no longer
  need to type any password.
