RE: simple newbie init question

["Edward W. Rouse" <erouse at comsquared dot com>]

Ok. I got inetd running, thanks Larry, and netstat -a shows all of the
services that inetd.conf started with are running. But the line I added
to start pserver is not starting the service. I used the line provided
in my CVS pocket reference (shown with another line which works):

telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd
cvspserver	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/bin/cvs
--allow-root=/data/cvs pserver

I am looking thru the docs and FAQs at cvshome.org, but if someone has a
quick answer for this, it would be appreciated.
