testing cvs using local host?

[Ray Tayek]

hi, i have cvs 1.11.1p1 on slack 8.1. it seems to work fine locally.

but i am having trouble using wincvs on my win98 machine (i get a 
connection refused).

i have:

cvspserver      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs    cvs -f 
--allow-root=~ray/cvsroot

in /etc/inetd.conf and

cvspserver      2401/tcp                # cvs

in /etc/services

and $CVSROOT=/home/ray/cvsroot

i was wondering what the incantation would be to do something on the linux 
box, treating it as both the client and the server.

any pointers would be appreciated.

thanks
