I'm not sure - but I'd be concerned about CVSNT not coping with file 
permissions for Unix clients !

BTW - we run out cvspserver on Linux and it works well.  We have a rule 
that any new files go into the tree in lower case - except for third 
party files.  That seems to get around most of the problems although 
I've had to jump into the repo to remove some corrupted upper case files 
that engrs also tried to remove and add again as lower case - no big deal.
