hi
I am trying to install the cvs server for the first time on centos , the sercive xinetd seems to start. but when i try to connect to the server using this command
cvs -t -d

server:francis@X.X.X.X:/data/cvs login
it prompts for the password once i enter the password it gives me the error
cvs [login aborted]: connect to [10.200.22.57]:2401 failed: Connection refused

secondly if i telnet to the port 2401 it gives
Trying 10.200.22.57...

It's obviously not running. You don't say how you installed CVS, or how xinetd fits in. I'm assuming that you modified the /etc/xinetd.d/cvs file, and set DISABLE=no, then restarted xinetd?

Check your log files, and try to start CVS manually, and see what happens.
