That's ... interesting, have you looked at the output of tcpdchk -v for possible errors in the hosts files? It should also explain in great detail the access control for cvspserver. The only other thing I can think of is to look at syslog for messages relating to inetd, tcpd, and csvpserver. Perhaps a dumb question, but what does your DNS have to say about belials ip address and the reverse lookup? --mike
