Save the file and exit to shell promot.

Make sure your /etc/xinetd.d/cvs looks as follows:

# less /etc/xinetd.d/cvsOutput:

service cvspserver
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = cvs
group = cvs
log_type = FILE /var/log/cvspserver
protocol = tcp
env = '$HOME=/home/cvsroot'
bind = 192.168.1.100
log_on_failure += USERID
port = 2401
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/home/cvsroot pserver
}

Note: Replace 192.168.1.100 with your actual server IP address.

Restart xinetd:# service xinetd restartAdd users to this group (see this howto for more info)
