Committing from leaf

[justin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

If I 'ssh -A leaf.dragonflybsd.org' and then

cvs -d crater.dragonflybsd.org:/cvs commit src/test/test/README

I get a password prompt, not the normal passphrase request, and this
prompt does not accept my password.

I was earlier getting 'ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by
remote host' but that seems to be resolved.  I figure I'm just missing
some simple step in my sleep-deprived state.  Can someone who can commit
from leaf point out what I'm missing?
