Re: CVS server without inetd?

[Cyan Callihan]

actually, i'm not sure that your answer is appropriate for steven's

steven, check out tcpserve.. the dan bernstein utility that he made for
qmail.  i have that running on my box and cvs is running without using
inetd.conf...

let me know if you need more help.
