       rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... address@hidden::DEST

        You can specify the user in front of the host.

        It's a sign that you've not uploaded the ssh public key.
See http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=607

        "Your savannah password is useless for cvs. You have to
        register a CVS/SSH Shared key in the Account Maintenance page
        for the machine from which you run cvs."
