cvspass is created automatically by cvsnt - just use cvs login (when it 
works).

That output looks contradictory... the pserver protocol is loading but 
the server on the same machine can't load it..

Is the server binary the same one that the client is using (check 
inetd.conf)?

Try a local test:

Type:
$ cvs -t pserver

Followed by:
BEGIN AUTH REQUEST
/webtest
oracle
A
END AUTH REQUEST

On my box it looks something like:

tmh at sisko:~/cvsnt/protocols$ cvs -t pserver
   -> Tracelevel set to 1.  PID is 2626
   -> Session ID is a42404cd495aa2f
BEGIN AUTH REQUEST
S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/server_protocol
S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/ext_protocol
S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/gserver_protocol
S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/sspi_protocol
S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/sserver_protocol
S -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/pserver_protocol
/webtest
oracle
A
END AUTH REQUEST
error 0 /webtest: no such repository
I HATE YOU
error

(obviously as I have no /webtest it throws me off)

The important bit is that it shows it's correctly searching through the 
protocols and stopping at pserver.
