Cause
User having tcsh login shell connects to CVS remote
server.
Consequence
CVS client uses rsh instead of SSH to reach server
becuase CVS_RSH environment is not set. If the server
has disabled rsh, then the connection cannot be
established. If the rsh is enabled, then sensitive
data can leak because rsh is not encrypted.
Fix
/etc/profile.d/cvs.csh has been adjusted to use valid csh
syntax to set CVS_RSH environment variable properly at
log-in.
Result
The CVS client will use SSH transport by default even if
user's login shell is tcsh.
