Which is not the latest CVSNT at all. The current version is 
cvsnt-2.5.03.2260.tar.gz

I hope you are root doing this...

Did you configure /etc/cvsnt/PServer and /etc/cvsnt/Plugins (I'm not 
sure if they exist in version 2.0.18 or 2.0.41a, but they do in 2.5.03)?

As Bo already stated, htpasswd is not part of the cvsnt installation. 
htpasswd is -- depending on your distribution -- almost always in the 
apache package. There are also several locations in the Internet where 
you can download it.

Although your method to create a new user may work, I suggest you create 
the new user as Bo described it in the other post.

Best regards
