You need to add a -f global option to the cvs command in inetd.conf. If
that doesn't fix the problem, you're probably running Linux where, for
some inexplicable reason, processes run by inetd have $HOME set. You'll
need to unset $HOME, either by using env to run cvs with a pristene
environment or by running a shell script that unsets $HOME and then runs
cvs.
