[ILUG] CVS reverse lookup failure

[Caleb Shay]

I'm not on the list, but I ran across this posting on google while
trying to fix the same problem.  Here's the solution:

edit /etc/xinetd.conf

remove the line that says

only_from = localhost

by default xinetd only allows connections from localhost

Cheers,
