setting up cvs server: connection refused

[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

hi. trouble in setting up "cvs server" on potato--

i'm trying to follow the cvsbook.red-bean.com instrux to get
my debian/potato up as a cvs server. nmap shows the cvspserver
port is being listened on, as here's the xinetd.conf entry:

service cvspserver
{
	socket_type     = stream
	protocol        = tcp
	wait            = no
	user            = root
#	server          = /usr/sbin/tcpd
#	server_args     = /usr/bin/cvs --allow-root=/usr/local/site/cvsroot pserver
	server          = /usr/bin/cvs
	server_args     = --allow-root=/usr/local/site/cvsroot pserver
	bind            = 192.168.1.1
}

i tried it with tcpd wrapper but got sixty messages EVERY SECOND
until the partition filled up and things started breaking... so i
just have xinetd listen directly -- and yes, i "/etc/init.d/xinetd
restart" after editing the conf file.

but no matter what i've got in CVSROOT/passwd i can't connect
worth a hoot. nothing registers in any log file, either...

	$ cvs -d :pserver:will@192.168.1.1:/usr/local/site/cvsroot/myProj login
	(Logging in to will@192.168.1.1)
	CVS password: 
	cvs [login aborted]: connect to 192.168.1.1:2401 failed:
	Connection refused

anybody got some suggestions to impart? what do i need to look
for? what'd i miss?
