cvs

                          Recently I am forced to migrate an ancient CVS installation from ubuntu to CentOS. 

I am using 'cvsnt' from 'March Hare'. I am trying to reproduce this old legacy server's function on my relatively new CentOS box. 

I have got cvslockd running, everything seems to be listening correctly, but after I do my export like:

    export CVSROOT=:pserver:username@127.0.0.1:/somerepo
    cvs login

I get the error: 

> cvs [login aborted]: Unknown command: `pserver'

My xinet.d conf is like:

    server_args = --allow-root=/somerepo -f pserver

My question is: how can I resolve the above error and get pserver method working properly?

    [root@det1svn01 testuser]# cvs info
    Available protocols:

    local               (internal)
    server              server 2.8.01 (Soolin) Build 5590
    pserver             pserver 2.8.01 (Soolin) Build 5590
    sspi                sspi 2.8.01 (Soolin) Build 5590
    ext                 ext 2.8.01 (Soolin) Build 5590
