Re: problems with a CVS authentication

ssh-agent should be setting environment variables and creating a socket
for communication with ssh-add and ssh itself. If ssh-agent fails to get
the environment set up so that it may communicate with ssh-add, then
this is a problem you need to track down with the person who installed
your OpenSSH or with openssh folks themselves.
