RE: (Yet another) help with pserver access please!

[Fouts Christopher (6452)]

I reverted to using the /etc/services port definition.
I had a notion that inetd was NOT picking up the new
port definition, that somehow ../portmap need to be
re-started. So I first started it manually, to no avail,
and rebooted my system, still to no avail.

One thing is still not clear to me. The line in inetd.conf
pertains to "pserver" but where is "pserver"?

Most inetds don't allow you to specify a port number directly, they insist
on having a service name, so you should probably switch back to having
cvspserver in your inetd.conf.  Make sure you specify cvspserver correctly
in your /etc/services file -- if it still doesn't work, it may be because
you're using some method other than /etc/services to get service information
(like NIS, maybe).
