type
cvs --version
on the commandline. It tells you, whether its GNU CVS or CVSNT...

Well, but you have to...

The configuration file is
/etc/cvsnt/PServer

If it's the same package in Ubuntu and Debian, then it is not there, but 
instead you'll find a PServer.example which you can copy/rename to 
PServer. This file is very well documented and there is no problem with 
the correct syntax and the like, because every options is already there 
(with all possible values)

Yes. If you want to change that and you're a programmer you may help me 
here: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/cvsntlcp
