RE: Cygwin's CVS - can it be a network server?

["ASH, JAMES (SBCSI)" <ja7295 at sbc dot com>]

I followed all the directions in the /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README.
I've gotten the inetd running. I can telnet to my box now, so I'm pretty
sure that the inetd is configured correctly. This is cygwin-nt4 1.3.2.

The cvs documentation from Fogel ( http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html)
explains how to set up pserver by making an entry in the /etc/services file.
Through many hours of experimentation, it seems that cygwin doesn't require,
or use, the /etc/services file. (Is this statement correct?)

My question is, how do I install a cvs pserver to listen on port 2401? Does
the inetd need to be hard-coded in order to do this?

Thanks.
P.S. BTW, how does one pronounce Cygwin? Is it Cy- as in cyborg?

AFAIK, you are breaking new ground: very few people have tried this (no 
one?) on cygwin.  You'll have to figure out how to do it on your own.  I 
suggest looking at non-cygwin sources of documentation, like the stuff 
at this website:

http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html

You'll probably need to get inetd started first; read 
/usr/doc/Cygwin/inetd.README.
