users not being mapped to correct system user when using external ssh

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi - I've worked out what the problem is with my remote ssh
connections.  Users on the internal server, going through the pserver
method are mapped in CVSROOT/passwd to the system username "cvs" which
has the correct permissions for the repository.

However when I connect through ssh the operations are running as
whatever cvs user account I've got in $CVSROOT.

Is there a way to force all users to be mapped to "cvs"?  I'm not sure
exactly where I'm going wrong, as I'm by no means a linux expert.  I
was under the impression that CVSROOT/passwd only got used by the
pserver connection method, so if I'm connecting through ssh the passwd
file will be ignored - hence the non-remapped usernames.

Any suggestions or help here would be hugely appreciated, as I'm lost
now.
