That version of CVSNT is very very old and contains security issues,
please uninstall it and replace it with the latest release (2.5.04).
Note: you are currently running CVSNT server on your PC and you do NOT
need to - install the CVSNT client only.

Your computer is called 'localhost' (it's a generic name meaning 'my
computer').

Ie: the HP Unix OS is NOT called 'localhost' - you need to find the name
of the hp unix computer on your network and ask the system administrator
what protocols are set up in the HP Unix OS CVS or CVSNT server.

Try:
:ssh:[email protected]:/usr/cvs/cvsroot

You'll need to replace 'hpbox.mydomain' with the real name.
