I don't even mess with Cygwin's ssh environment.  Instead, get Pageant,
putty, and puttygen to use as needed.

Yes.

Unfortunately, the CVS pserver method is not encrypted, so it's generally
pretty simple to grab someone's password and impersonate them.

On our CVS system we use SSH and public key authentication with the
command that the key can run limited to "cvs server".  We use file
permissions to manage access.

The CygWin SSH client is pretty easy to install, but was definately the
hardest part of the Tortoise setup.
