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
  or
    ssh-keygen -t rsa -f <filename>
        
  NOTE: When it asks for password you may leave it empty. The comment
  of the key is completely irrelevant. If you provide a <filename>,
  you also have to add the following lines to ~/.ssh/config, otherwise SSH
  (and thus CVS) will not recognize your key:
    
    host mplayerhq.hu
    IdentityFile <filename>
              
  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, the default one is ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub).
  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.
