this happened while learning to use cvs with ssh. i don't care about the errors, it's just group permisisons or some such, i'm more curious about the unexpected ssh connection attempt to another site.
this is a fairly up2date fc3 machine (maybe 3/4 days out of yum update).
$ cvs status
skunkworx@localhost's password:

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? no
