Righto, here's what i did....

***Joff's Simple 22 Step Guide to "ssh-keygen thingy", CVS and the Known 
Universe ***

1:  Grab a beer
2:  Sit back in leather executive chair and chill for approx 5 - 7 minutes.
3:  If you smoke, spark up. (i dont, so skipped that bit, but i dont mind if 
others do - i can tolerate the smoke on the list, it doesnt bother me. No 
really, go ahead :)  )
4:  Open a konsole and type

    ssh-keygen -t dsa

5:  Press return a few times. (randomly, i seem to remember)
6:  Open up konqueror and type the following in the address bar:

    fish://kdewebdev.org

7:  When prompted, enter your username and password
8:  Go to fish://kdewebdev.org/home/<username>/ (if you're not already there)
9:  Make a folder called 

    .ssh

10: copy the local file: ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to the .ssh folder you made in the 
fishy window.
11:  Rename that file to "authorized_keys"
12:  Put the empty bottle back on the table, and grab another.
13:  Find the peanuts you bought the other week.
14:  Open up cervisia.
15:  Click "Repository>Repositories>Add"
16: In the first box, type:

    :ext:typeyourusernamehere at kdewebdev.org:/var/lib/cvs

17:  Click "ok" then "ok"
18:  Click "Repository>Checkout" and select your newly created repository from 
the dd box
19:  In the module box type 

    kdewebdev

20:  Type in a reasonably titled working folder (and dont, as I did, try to 
put it along side the kde kdewebdev module, cos it wont work, as they're both 
called the same thing and there's a distinct lack of error messages!)
21:  Hold breath and get ready to call Joff some not-so-nice names when it 
doesn't work cos he forgot to put in an all-important step.
22: Click "ok"

And that pretty much worked for me, as far as I remember (which probably isn't 
very far - distance is always a problem for me, in hind sight)

Not all of the steps are probably necessary, but  it worked for me :)

*thinks, hard*
Yup - just looked through again, and I'm sure that was it......

Perhaps someone could clarify this and say Yay or Nay

hth
