I have a machine that I have installed CVS and Telnet Server, but I cannot
Telnet or access the CVS repository remotely from a Windows machine.

Each time I try to Telnet the box I get a "Could not open connection to the
host, on port 23: Connect failed"

I have set up the CVS repository, and on the box itself can do a:

bash# export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/repository
bash# cvs login

And I can authenticate, and then check out code in the repository fine. The
problem is when I try to connect to the server remotely and do the same
thing.

I have:

* disabled the firewall using "redhat-config-securitylevel"

* Added the file; /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver with the contents:

service cvspserver
{
        socket_type         = stream
        protocol            = tcp
        wait                = no
        user                = root
        passenv             =
        server              = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args         = --allow-root=/cvs/repository pserver -f
}

(and restarted xinet.d)

* checked via a netstat that there is a LISTEN for cvspserver.

The server is using DHCP to obtain an IP.

Cheers,

Ben
