Hey guys,

these are the steps I've taken so far to run pserser in cvs 1.11.18 (redhat 9);
however, I always get the message:
"cvs [login aborted]: connect to ##address##(##address##):2401 failed:
Connection refused"

1. created $CVSROOT and exported it. repository is set to /cvs
2. initialized the repository with init
3. added following line to the /etc/xinetd.conf file so xinetd listens to port
2401 and knows to run command cvs pserver when it receives a connection:

{
        port                    = 2401
        socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        user                    = root
        wait                    = no
        type                    = UNLISTED
        server                  = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args             = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver
        disable                 = no
}

4. made sure /etc/services has the symbolic service name like below

cvspserver 2401/tcp
cvspserver 2401/udp

5. created file /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver containing the following service
cvspserver

{
        port            = 2401
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        env             = HOME=/cvs
        server          = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args     = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver
        disable         = no
}

6. restart xinetd
7. created file $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd with username:password in its
own line for every user.

When I run the following command "netstat -anp", I don't see "cvspserver"
running on 2401, there is nothing running on that port!

Lastly, I've looked at the /var/log/messages file and do not see
anything of use to me in this matter. There is absolutely nothing in
this file about cvspserver or pserver. The only thing I see is the
following when xinetd is restarted:

Jan 19 15:05:01 emobilebugzilla xinetd[8501]: missing service keyword [line=21]

If anyone has any sort of clue as to why this is happening please let
me know. Most importantly, if someone knows how to fix it I will be
extremely grateful. Thank you for your time.
