It sounds like you didn't install pserver.  There should be a library
(pserver_protocol.so probably) in your cvs library path (which is
probably /usr/local/lib/cvsnt).

To diagnose is on the HPUX box try:

$ cvs -t :pserver:localhost version

You should get some output from it showing the protocol loading.

  -> Tracelevel set to 1.  PID is 6246
  -> Session ID is 1866404ca9a97fa2
  -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/pserver_protocol

As I don't have access to an HPUX box I've no idea if anyone's got
CVSNT to actually work on it... I'd be interested to know if it's
possible though.
