Have you checked that there are no firewalls blocking the connection and that
the server service has been started.  A look at the "netstat -anp" connections
will tell you whether or not it is listening for incoming connections.

See ya

No, I am trying to connect from the server it self.

  I take it you're connecting to a remote server?


  Are you using RSH as the transport? What is the value of CVS_RSH?

  Assuming you are: is rshd installed? (or is it rexecd, it's been so
  long since I installed those Sun RPC facilities) 

  If installed, does the server have `rsh' chkconfig'd on? This is
  part of the xinetd configuration.  

  If installed and chkconfig'd on, does the server's
  /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} allow such a connection?  

  You can use SSH by setting CVS_RSH to 'ssh'. That's a safer way to
  do it anyway.

I presume /usr/sbin/cvspserver is a shell script that runs CVS with the
appropriate arguments.  A more typical example is the one that's now in
the manual:

service cvspserver
{
   port= 2401
   socket_type = stream
   protocol= tcp
   wait= no
   user= root
   passenv = PATH
   server  = /usr/local/bin/cvs
   server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver
}

(If cvspserver is defined in '/etc/services', you can omit the port
line.)

Exactly. It was created by the cvs RPM in the Mandrake 8.1 distribution
or by the "make install" (didn't notice...)
It also checks for the existance of "/etc/cvs/cvs.conf" and "CVSROOT"
and bails with a message if not found.

This is pretty good. I love alternatives.
Your example is more direct, but relies on cvs for defaults and
error messages.

I have, in /etc/xinetd.d/cvs:
# CVS configuration for xinetd don't forget to specify your CVSROOT in
#  /etc/cvs/cvs.conf.

service cvspserver
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
server  = /usr/sbin/cvspserver
}

I have the following two lines in /etc/services:

cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS client/server operations
cvspserver 2401/udp # CVS client/server operations

However, I don't have anything in xinetd.conf about cvs.  Here is what my
xinetd.conf looks likes:

#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/
defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d

It almost certainly means that you don't have a server running for the
connection method you're using.  If you're working on a single machine,
is there a reason you're trying to use client/server rather than local
mode?

You may find the troubleshooting section of the manual particularly
useful:

Do you have a cvs entry in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf?
(I'm running Linux 2.4.8, Mandrake 8.1, and use xinetd.d/cvs)
It may not matter, but I trust my second computer and also use .rhosts to
rsh between them.
