Usually 'localhost' is excluded from all that anyway.
Check that everything is set up ok, from a shell:
imac:~ abarrett$ grep cvspserve /etc/services
cvspserver 2401/udp # cvspserver
cvspserver 2401/tcp # cvspserver
imac:~ abarrett$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver
service cvspserver
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/cvsnt
server_args = authserver
groups = yes
flags = REUSE IPv6
mdns = no # Lockserver handles mdns broadcast
}
If that is what you see then a reboot of your box after installing CVSNT should make everything run OK. If not then try this and send us your results:
imac:~ abarrett$ telnet localhost 2401
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
cvsnt [server aborted]: bad auth protocol start:
error
Connection closed by foreign host.
