That's incorrect: you should have gotten a message like:

        cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start: XYZ

That you didn't indicates that [x]inetd is listening for connections on
the pserver port, but it is unable to start the server (or the server
dies right away).  Check your syslog for error messages from [x]inet,
check that your [x]inetd config file is correct, and if you're using tcp
wrappers, check your hosts.allow and hosts.deny files.
