All I did was chmod o+r /root. This allowed CVS to look into /root to see if
a .cvsignore file existed, found that there wasn't and carried on.
What changes did you make to inetd.conf regarding env as this would seem
more secure than giving all read access to /root?

This is not a very secure solutions cause you're creating root-access for
normal users.
I've already found the solution with env in inetd.cond
