Yea, must have had it set.  I got an _instant_ failure when I did this:

     $ cvs update
     cvs [update aborted]: cannot exec rsh: No such file or directory
     cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

I don't have rsh installed on the machine at home, and did an "unset CVSS_RSH" prior to running the command.

I do have rsh installed at work 'cuz I do rsh-over-ssh quite often.  This means it tried to use rsh to SourceForge and I had to wait for a timeout to occur.
