It can be, as part of the debugging.

but you might want to:
On the Linux (server), CVSROOT=:ext:MyServer:/cvsroot
                CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh

and do some testing as a client, on the server, to see that you have the same
problems locally that you have from the HPUX system.  It could be your [sshd
|| home account] on the server configuration and you would be blaming the HPUX
system unfairly.  Fortunately I have not had to use HPUX for several years, so
I can not help you directly there anymore.
