Which "helppart"?  If you get something like:

        Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
          where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc.
            (specify --help-options for a list of options)
        ...

it means that you've forgotten the "pserver" at the end of the command
line in inetd.conf.  If you get something like:

        CVS commands are:
                add          Add a new file/directory to the repository
                admin        Administration front end for rcs
        ...

it means that you've misspelled "pserver".
