cvs repository problems

I use a CVS repository that is hosted on a Linux server. I have had many problems with accessing the repository from my mac. The repository and my mac had come to some kind of understanding, and I had some functionality. I just got a new machine. The first thing I did when I got the new machine was load the developer tools. I have set my .bashrc file to the same CVSROOT and CVS_RSH setting that I had on the old machine. I can't check out anything from the repository onto my new Mac. To see if the problem was my new machine or the repository I logged onto a linux box in my office and everything worked fine, so the problem is with my mac. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should try?

Can you ssh in at all from

Can you ssh in at all from your new machine? Did you generate a new key pair? What error messages do you get?
