You don't need to go to all that trouble... just get "lsof" and run "lsof
-p <pid>" on the parent of the CVS process.  This should be the process
with a PPID of "inetd".

Among many other things, "lsof" will show open sockets and the format of
the output shows the client IP (or hostname) for the connection.
