I'm trying to setup a cvs server on a redhat 7.3 box.

The steps i've completed so far are:

added a new user called cvs
added the group cvs to the user accounts that I want to access the cvs

created the directory /home/cvs/repository/CVSROOT
cvs -d /home/cvs/repository/CVSROOT init

edited /etc/profile to add the CVSROOT path

added a file to /etc/xinetd.d called cvspserver which holds the following 
information:

# default: off
# description: An cvs server.
service cvspserver
{
        disable = no
   socket_type = stream
   protocol = tcp
   user = root
   wait = no
   server = /usr/bin/cvs
   server_args= -f --allow-root=/home/cvs/repository pserver
   log_on_success +=USERID
   log_on_failure += USERID
}

finally I restarted xinetd

Problem:
when I try to login I get the following error message:

[wlaver@localhost wlaver]$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:wlaver@localhost:2401/home/cvs/repository
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to localhost(127.0.0.1):2401 failed: Connection 
refused

Tia for any help you guys can provide
