Ok, from your cvspserver file seems that you don't use TCP wrapper
application, but xinetd could have the TCP wrapper library linked. Try
the following command to check what is going on:

strace -f -o /tmp/zzz -p `ps ax |grep xinetd |grep -v grep |awk "{print $1}"`

(or just put the PID of your xinetd process after -p).

After that, look in /tmp/zzz and find the line that does
execve("/usr/bin/cvs", ...) and track what the process with that PID
does. If it opens the files mentioned above and closes the socket
shortly afterwards, this means you should add a cvs line into your
/etc/hosts.allow.

With kind regards,
Baurjan.
