[smc] Here is one problem.
You need an extra "cvs" in there. Remember, in /etc/inetd.conf, the
arguments to the
command include argv[0], the name of the command...
so:
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs
--allow-root=/data1/cvs pserver
(all on one line, of course, in case my mailer breaks lines.)

[smc] Why the botched inetd.conf would give this sympton,
I don't konw...maybe there are other problems too.
