    Default /bin/bash: cvs: command not found

    I'm trying to do a cvs checkout from a remote machine running

    SSH Version 1.2.25 [i686-unknown-linux], protocol version 1.5.

    Say the user is "foo", and they have cvs installed locally:
    >which cvs
    /home/foo/local/bin/cvs

    $ cvs -d:ext:foo@foo.machine:/home/foo/local/cvsroot co something
    /bin/bash: cvs: command not found

    Now I assume that's becuase /home/foo/local/bin/cvs is not in the path.
    I tried setting path in .bash_profile (and .bashrc) on the remote
    machine but they don't seem to be read on a ssh connection.

    How do I get foo's PATH updated on the remote machine?

    I'm sure I've checked out from that machine before (but that local copy
    is on a drive that's not working so I can't check the CVS Root).

    Thanks,

    $ cat cvs-path
    # source this into your shell like this:
    # source cvs-path
