If you can access the outside world from behind the firewall using ssh, then
no need. In fact, sysadmins should allow people access to Internet via ssh
(IMO) - try to convince the sysad giving people ssh access is a good idea.
I have been syncing directories for quite some time this way (not CVS
repositories, though).

The port 2401 reference was to the CVS pserver port, as a commit while rsync
is working might corrupt the repository.

You also need to be able to log into the outside server without a password
using ssh, if you intend to do this from cron.
