Just for grins, have you tried "service iptables stop" before logging in
remotely? (bearing in mind your security needs)
My working /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver is below. Differences I see are that
your path (server=) is different but I'm using the current tarball not
RH's version and your '-f' may be out of place if there's a strict
ordering to the server_args arguments, and I have a passenv= specified.
service cvspserver
{
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv = PATH
server = /usr/local/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=<full_path_to_repository> pserver
}
