Google is your friend "pserver cvs allow-root multiple" and you would
find the following links eventually:

Yes.

You may either add an additional --allow-root=/dir2/proj2 argument after
the first one, or (if your inetd does not allow enough arguments), you
may put the entire thing into a wrapper script and use as many
- --allow-root=pathname arguments as you need.

No. You want this:

cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /dir/cvs/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/dir1/proj1 
 --allow-root=/dir2/proj2 pserver

Yes.
