 What do you mean by "didn't work"?

Sorry I wasn't more specific about that.  If I remember correctly, the CVS
server would refuse client connections.

 It may well be that you're
 inheriting a bogus value of HOME from xinetd, in which case you need to
 explicitly unset it.

Exactly.  Apparently, that's a RH 7.0 'behavior'.  Tomorrow, I'll look at
the cvspserver xinetd file again, maybe I found out how to explicitly unset
environment variables (and don't remember how I did it). ;-

As always, thanks for your time, Larry.

"Connection refused" means that the server machine isn't listening for
connections on the cvspserver port, which implies that there's something
wrong with your xinetd configuration; check your syslog for error
messages and follow the debugging steps in the manual:

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_21.html#SEC182

   env = HOME=/cvs

Do not set HOME!  Make sure it is *not* set and CVS will figure it out
correctly for each user.

Here's the /etc/xinet.d/cvspserver set up that I'm using now:

BTW, sometimes the CVS processes on the Linux box seem to get 'zombified'.
Any ideas?  I noticed this happens more often when the local SMTP server
dies.

perhaps someone who knows something about xinetd can help.)
