Here's my /etx/xinetd.d/pserver:

    # Converted by inetdconvert
    service cvspserver
    {
     socket_type  = stream
     protocol  = tcp
     wait   = no
     user   = root
     server   = /usr/bin/cvs
     server_args  = -f --allow-root=/var/cvsroot pserver
     disable   = no
    }

There may be a HOWTO for xinetd.d on www.linuxdoc.org.  If not, I found the man
pages for xinetd extremely useful.  If you're on a RedHat system there may be
docs in /usr/share/doc or /usr/doc as well.  If playing with inetd doesn't
work, double check the part of the "Troubleshooting" section of the CVS manual
about connecting to a CVS server:
