pserver configuration

[Zen Center Computer Support]

Hello. I am having trouble starting up cvs for
direction connections from clients using xinetd on Red
Hat 7.2. I orginally tried to one-line entry suggested
in the CVS documentation:

2401 stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f
--allow-root=/var/projects/webv1/cvsroot pserver

but received the error message from xinetd that the
service keyword was missing. Next, I set up a standard
service entry:

service pserver
{
        socket_type                     = stream
        protocol                        = tcp
        port                            = 2401
        wait                            = no
        user                            = root
        server                          = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args                     = cvs -f
--allow-root=/var/projects/webv1/cvsroot
}

Using this entry, the service starts successfully.
However, when I attempt to connect from a client, I
get the error "unknown command: cvs". If I remove the
cvs text from the server_args entry, I get the "usage"
error. Can someone help me figure this out?

Thanks.
