The easiest:

Compile (configure/make/make install)
Make a self-signed certificate, or get one from verisign etc.
Set CertificateFile and CertificateKeyFile in /etc/cvsnt/PServer

That's it...  If you have any errors detailed error reports go to the 
syslog and usually pinpoint the problem straight away.

If you want you can compile genkey and make a default selfign cert in 
the same way that the win32 builds do.  That's rarely necessary though 
as most Linux distributions offer better ways to do this.
