Yes, cvsnt can't use them.  This is mentioned on the installation document I 
think.

There's no point in putting a passphrase on certificates that are used for a 
server, as you would have to store the passphrase in plaintext on the server 
anyway - negating any advantage you get from the passphrase in the first place.

That's quite old...  It should work though (2.0.41 has slightly better logging 
of the server side errors).
