no. but i added it to xined.conf, tho. :)

	#2401 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/run-cvs run-cvs

	service cvspserver
	{
		socket_type     = stream
		protocol        = tcp
		wait            = no
		user            = root
		server          = /usr/local/sbin/run-cvs
	#	server_args     = run-cvs
		bind            = 192.168.1.1
	}

and then, of course, did /etc/init.d/xinetd reload, and the logs
in /var/log reflect that it loaded fine -- also reflected
properly by nmap.

so instead of connection refused (as when no listening is on port
cvspserver at all), now i get 

	$ cvs -d:pserver:will@serensoft.com:/cvsroot login
	(Logging in to will@serensoft.com)
	CVS password: 
	cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server serensoft.com: Connection reset by peer

	$ cvs -d:pserver:will@serensoft.com:/cvsroot login
	(Logging in to will@serensoft.com)
	CVS password: 
	cvs [login aborted]: received broken pipe signal

i don't know enough to ask the right question-- :(

is there a debian-esque package "cvs-secure-server" or some such?
maybe "cvsupd" is what i'm looking for (probably not)?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #29 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com> 
:
Console GIBBERISH? Suddenly you're seeing Russian or Korean or
box-like text on your console or xterm (or rxvt) -- probably
after viewing a binary file, right? :) Enter "reset" at the
command line, or try embedding a control-O (letter oh) into
your command-line prompt string:
	export PS1='^V^O\u@\h: \w$ '
