1) CVS_RSH cannot contains arguments like "-1". If you need to pass
arguments to ssh for use with cvs, you will have to create a script to
call ssh with arguments, then point CVS_RSH to that. It's one of the
painful parts of CVS.

2) Fortunately, there is an easier solution. Create a file ~/.ssh/config
and add the following lines to it:
	Host *
	Protocol 1
I will lead substituting host names for * as an exercise to the reader.

I hope this helps.
