Can't connect to Port 2401 ( and I've done it all)

[David Whitehurst]

Please help!  I've installed nmap, no port 2401.  I opened 2401 across my
router but ...

telnet localhost 2401 (no action)

Here's the xinetd config called (cvspserver ?)  ...did I name it right
service cvspserver
{
    disable=no
    socket_type=stream
    protocol=tcp
    wait=no
    user=root
    passenv=
    server=/usr/bin/cvs
    server_args= -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvs-repos pserver
}

All paths have been checked.  I made and installed CVS as root
and did ...
cvs -d /usr/local/cvs-repos init
cd /usr/local/cvs-repos
chgrp -R cvs .
chmod ug+rwx . CVSROOT

assured that /etc/services contained port 2401 and tcp/ucp stuff for
cvspserver (yes)

/sbin/services xinetd restart
NO! port 2401 listening ...

What can I do from here.  I can't proceed with any of my latest java open
source project unless I get cvs and ViewCVS working for my peeps.

Any help is appreciated,

David
