Thanks for your reply Larry.  However, I have the following two lines in
/etc/services:

cvspserver 2401/tcp   # CVS client/server operations
cvspserver 2401/udp   # CVS client/server operations

I also changed the line in /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver to read:  server_args=
-f --allow-root /usr/local/aldonrep pserver.  I then commited as sin!  I
rebooted the system.  But I still got the same error when I tried to
connect.  Any other ideas?
