Trouble with xinetd

[Viper Wolf]

I am trying to configure the xinetd on my RedHat 9 system.  The service panel shows that the cvs-myserver should start, but even after a xinetd restart I'm not seeing a listener on port 2401.

-- /etc/xinetd.d/cvs-myserver --
service cvs-myserver
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        port            = 2401
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/local/bin/cvs-myserver
        passenv         =
#       log_on_failure  += USERID
#       disable         = no
}
-- /etc/xinetd.d/cvs-myserver --

-- /usr/local/bin/cvs-myserver --
#!/bin/sh
CVSPASSWD=/user/bin/cvspasswd
exec /usr/bin/cvs-pserver /var/cvsroot/thefoxcave.com
/usr/bin/cvschkpw /usr/bin/cvs pserver
-- /usr/local/bin/cvs-myserver --

I do not know what "service panel" is.

First, uncomment "disable = no", and kill -HUP xinetd.  See if it listens on 2401.

Second, you forgot additional dash-dash at the end of served repositories list:

exec /usr/bin/cvs-pserver /var/cvsroot/thefoxcave.com --
/usr/bin/cvschkpw /usr/bin/cvs pserver
