Sounds like it's a inetd/hosts.allow problem to me...
What do you have in your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny?
In your hosts.allow I think you may need
ALL: 127.0.0.1
ALL: xx.xx.xx.xx # (Local PC IP address)
Just to find the problem and if this works then you may want to restrict it
to just that service only and not the everything..

Subject: [SLUG] Setting up CVS
Hi all
Can someone guide me back on to the straight and narrow here? I am trying
to setup CVS. I have done the following steps so far:
Checked following were in /etc/services
cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS client/server
operations
cvspserver 2401/udp # CVS client/server
operations
And in /etc/inetd.conf:
#CVS pserver
pserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs -b /usr/bin
pserver
Then I did:
cvs -d /home/cvs init
Which created a /hom/cvs dir for me. I then restarted /etc/rc.d/inetd/inet
However when I try to log into the repository using
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@localhost:/home/cvs
I get the following:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to localhost:2401 failed: Connection refused
Which I figure is one of two things - a password/permissions problem or
that the service is not running. So my question is fourfold:
1) How do I create a password file for cvs
2) How do I check if CVS is actually running?
3) I checked the man page but don't see anything on how to create
repository - can someone tell me how to do this?
4) Can someone point me to a good resource (in tutorial style preferably)
on using CVS? I already tried the CVS website.
Thanks in advance, sorry about the longwinded post!
