I did have an incorrect path name, but fixing that did not solve the
problem.  I will elaborate below.

No messages since I corrected the path.

I will try that next, but I will also explain what I am getting now in
case anyone has an immediate solution for me:

# grepcvspserver/etc/inetd.conf
cvspserver      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs    cvs -f
--allow-root=/home/cvsroot pserver
# cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/home/cvsroot login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/home/cvsroot
CVS password: 
cvs login: failed to open /root/.cvspass for reading: No such file or
directory
cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting
# 

The troubleshooting section of the manual seems to say that this type
of message means that I forgot the -f option in the inetd config, but,
as you can see the -f is there.  Any ideas?

In the meantime, I will try inetd in debug mode.
