It looks like a permissions problem somwhere, are you using the -f 
paramater in your xinetd?   You can also use the -t (trace) 
parameter to get a more detailed info. Your best bet for detailed 
CVS questions like this is the CVS e-mail list:

http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

(Be sure to include the exact command and error you are receiving in 
your email messages.)

and the archives are here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/


If you haven't discovered it yet the on-line manual is here:

https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.17/cvs.html
