It seems to me it's better to keep them the same - Windows users will 
normally be using wincvs/tortoisecvs which both use cvsnt.  Those users 
will send the cvs passwd command... it seems to me that creating an 
entirely different one will just confuse users.

OTOH I don't see the problem with supporting different feature sets 
(providing the basic 'change my password' functionality works, and that 
should be easy enough to arrange).
