This is my bugzilla report that was filed a week ago as bug #54177. It has
not gotten a single reply so I was hoping someone here could help me fix
this.

Product: Red Hat Linux
Version: 7.1
Platform: i386
OS/Version: Linux
Summary: `cvs update` fails to get updates from cvs server

Description of Problem:
After upgrading my Redhat 6.2 box to Redhat 7.1 some network clients are
no longer able to connect. cvs update, the folding@home client, 
and ftp uploads more than a few kb all exhibit this behavior (they fail
with a timeout). When I run `cvs login` cvs connects and authenticates 
with the server. Following that with `cvs update` fails to update any
files, timing out. From `netstate -n` I can see that a connection has been 
established with the CVS server (and in the case of folding@home, with
the folding@home server, or with ftp, everything works until more 
than a few kb are uploaded). `rpm -q cvs` reports cvs-1.11-3, `rpm -q
ftp` is ftp-0.17-7 and `rpm -q xinetd` reports xinetd-2.3.3-1. The kernel 
is 2.4.9-ac9 with ext3 0.9.9 and lm_sensors 2.6.1 patches (no firewall
options enabled). Mozilla, irc, ssh, ftp downloads all work fine.

Hmm, it seems that large pop3 messages also cause problems for fetchmail
(fetchmail-5.9.0-0.7.1), but smaller ones are just fine.

I suspect xinetd, but only because that's the most visible network change
from 6.2 -> 7.1, but I really don't know. (All xinetd services are 
disabled.) `netstat` reports a very high number of packets in the Send-Q
column for the cvs connection as seen here:

tcp        0  12960 saimiri:32993           adsl-63-205-:cvspserver
ESTABLISHED

[Interestingly, I wasn't able to get this bug report to submit from
Mozilla or Netscape on this box, might be the same bug in yet another form]

How Reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome login
2. cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome update


Actual Results:
Connection times out.

Expected Results:
CVS should start updating changed files and listing those that haven't.
