I should have x-posted this errata to Dr. Sani's article here.
You have to fix the --allow-root argument, and also restart xinetd.

Subject: Article on CVS in PCQ Dec 2001
Hi All,
There is this nice introductory article on CVS in PCQ Dec. 2001 issue
by Dr. Tarique Sani. Though well written and would serve as a painless
initiation to CVS, there is one error(?) that I noticed.
Recent versions of many popular linux distributions use xinetd (including
PCQLinux 7.1). The inetd setup detailed in the article is not appropriate
for xinetd, and it will not work.
For xinetd, one needs a file /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver as:
# default: off
# description: pserver is the CVS server. This runs on port 2401.
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/cvs
env = HOME=/var/cvsroot
server_args = --allow-root=/var/cvsroot/block pserver
disable = no
}
Adjust the --allow-root option for your use. Also, the env = line
is important, because of the way xinetd sets HOME for programs that
it spawns. One can have as many --allow-root entries as required.
Binand
