Check your syslog for error messages from xinetd and/or CVS.  If there
aren't any, try running xinetd in debug mode.  Check the permissions on
CVS.  Try telnetting to port 2401 (telnet localhost 2401) -- if the
connection immediately closes, then either xinetd is unable to start CVS
or CVS immediately dies.  If the connection stays open, try hitting
return -- you should get an error message from CVS.
