I also tried following the instructions at  
http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationLinux and created a certificate  
authority then a request and signing the request using the new CA.  I now  
have:

CertificateFile=/etc/cvsnt/cert.pem
PrivateKeyFile=/etc/cvsnt/key.pem

aimsnet:~# cvsnt -d :sserver:ChrisPurves at localhost:/cvs login
Logging in to :sserver:ChrisPurves at localhost:2401:/cvs
CVS Password:
Server certificate verification failed: unable to get local issuer  
certificate
aimsnet:~#

A new error...

According to http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationLinux "In addition to  
these steps, the /etc/cvsnt/cert.pem file must be made available to the  
clients."

So I try...

aimsnet:~# cvsnt -d  
":sserver;privatekey=/etc/cvsnt/cert.pem:ChrisPurves at localhost:/cvs" login
Logging in to :sserver:ChrisPurves at localhost:2401:/cvs
CVS Password:
Unable to read/load the client private key (0): error:0906D06C:PEM  
routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line
cvsnt [login aborted]: Connection to server failed
aimsnet:~#

Still no luck.
