Ok. I got inetd running, thanks Larry, and netstat -a shows all of the services that inetd.conf started with are running. But the line I added to start pserver is not starting the service. I used the line provided in my CVS pocket reference (shown with another line which works):
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs --allow-root=/data/cvs pserver I am looking thru the docs and FAQs at cvshome.org, but if someone has a quick answer for this, it would be appreciated.
