You need the *cvsnt* Linux client, which isn't the same as the one that 
comes bundled with most Linux installs.  The CVSHome.org CVS doesn't 
understand SSPI (even recent builds don't).  There's a page that tells 
you how to set it up under Linux.  Note though that for client-only, you 
don't need to worry about most of what is in that document.  The 
abbreviated instructions for client only would be:

	Remove old cvs client (to avoid confusion)
	Download and untar cvsnt source
	./configure
	make
	make install

...and you can forget about all the server-listening stuff (e.g. 
Lockserver, xinetd.d / init.d).  Then you should be good to go.
