CVSNT is NOT CVS.

You CANNOT migrate from CVSNT to CVS - attempting to use a CVSNT
repository on CVS may result in irreperable loss of data.

CVSNT is available for Linux - I suggest you use CVSNT for linux
instead.

Please post questions about CVSNT to the CVSNT newsgroup not this CVS
newsgroup:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt

Do you mean the AIX command 'lsacl' or the CVSNT command 'cvs lsacl'?  

CVS does not have a 'cvs lsacl' command - that is CVSNT specific.

I believe Larry was talking about the 'lsacl' command (like in AIX) - an
operating system command not a CVS command.

WinCVS and TortoiseCVS are not windows clients - they are windows GUI's
that still require a windows client: either CVS or CVSNT.  Note:
TortoiseCVS has many features that are CVSNT specific (eg: revision
graphs that show mergepoints only works if you use CVSNT server and
client).
