   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) rpm -q rsh

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

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

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

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

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

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.

 A more typical example is the one that's now in
 the manual:
 
 service cvspserver
 {

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

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

 I am running RH 7.1 and CVS 1.11-3 using the bash shell.  When I try and
 connect to cvs I get the following error:  Connection refused.  Anyone
 have any ideas?  Thanks for any help.
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.

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
