I don't use ssh-agent, never have. I have no problem connecting to
our cvs repository from within Xcode using my public-private keypair
(RSA or DSA) with a null passphrase. Works fine from the command line
and the CVL GUI client as well. On very rare occasions (like once
every 3-4 months), Xcode will prompt me for a password. But I just
click "OK" (or "Send", whatever it is) with no password entered, and
it works fine.
You might want to try creating a brand new project and going through
the process of configuring CVS access on that. Maybe whatever
settings Xcode has saved for your project(s) that are having problems
have become corrupt.

I use CVS over SSH all the time, so I'd say it always worked :-)
Hope you filed a bug relating to your configuration.
Yes, but as far as I know, it was well known. My bug report
#4365259 was this:
``Summary:
XCode's SCM features SSH tunneling options, but it is known not to
work without ssh_agent. In secure environments ssh_agent is not so
recommended. XCode should ask a password for normal users with SCM/
SSH, and in high security environments like kerberized ones, no
password should provided, since OSX has an excellent support for
Single Sign On (SSH is passwordless thanks to GSSAPI). Without
ssh_agent XCode is unable to authenticate even providing the right
password.
Steps to reproduce:
Use SCM over SSH (CVS or Subversion).
Expected results:
Password dialog and working authentication, or no password at all
if SSO is working (e.g. GSSAPI)
Actual results:
Password dialog appears, any password returns an authentication
failure even when SSO should be working.''
And was tagged as Duplicate. XCode 2.3 *STILL* cannot handle ssh-
based systems without ssh_agent, which is pretty useless when
dealing with SSO environments (e.g. kerberos-based networks).
It's pretty annoying, since ssh works flawlessly withing a
terminal, I can ssh to a host, cvs any action via ssh, do whatever
I want just because of ssh/kerberos.
What should I do? Reopen a bug? File another one?
