    CVS version 1.11 on both computers.   Server is on  LINUX
2.2.18  and client is on LINUX 2.4.16.
   
     Your comments here, remimded me of one thing.  When I did
an  'inetd restart'  there was no error messages, but there was no 
feedback either.   This seemed rather strange!!
Is there any way of knowing if the config file was reread??
This computer is also used as an NFS file server so I can't just
go and reboot it.
