Are you talking about ssh passwords? If so, there's a tutorial on how  
to store ssh passphrases in the Mac OS X keychain, so that the ssh- 
agent can access them: <http://ormset.no/wordpress/2007/10/28/leopard-finally-supporting-ssh-agent-at-login 
 >.

Essentially, you'll need to work with ssh-keys, because MacCvsX has no  
way of intercepting the password when cvsnt is setting up the ssh  
connection.
Once you have set up your keys, you need to put your ssh-key  
passphrase (if you chose to set one) into your keychain by running ssh  
once with the -i option, e.g.

	ssh -i .ssh/id_dsa [email protected]

This will initiate the ssh section once, ask for the ssh-key password  
and store the password in the keychain.
For any future ssh session to this host, the system ssh-agent will  
then be able to retrieve the password from your keychain.
This is also what would make ssh connections in MacCvsX work, since  
you're no longer required to enter your password at
the command prompt...
