OK

If you're that bothered about security then pserver is the *worst*
protocol to choose as the passwords are trivially decrypted.  Kerberos
or SSH are needed for that level of security.  sspi is a good middle
ground - you can in theory crack the NT passwords (they're MD5'd I
believe) but it would take a couple of weeks on a fast machine
provided you don't use passwords that aren't susceptible to a
dictionary attack.

Users can set their own passwords using 'cvs passwd'.

OK
