Remove the following from 'xinetd.conf':

Create file 'cvspserver' in '/etc/xinetd.d' (containing the following):

service cvspserver
{
        flags       = REUSE NAMEINARGS
        socket_type = stream
        protocol    = tcp
        wait        = no
        user        = root
        server      = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args = cvs -f --allow-root=/home/bhavani/cvsroot pserver
}

Also make sure that port 2401 is setup properly in /etc/services.
