CVS access working?

Hello,

Does anyone know if CVS access (as documented on the main linux-mtd page) is currently working? I tried from several machines, at home and at work, and I see a "Connection refused" on the "cvs login" when I follow the exact commands listed on the page (for anonymous CVS access). Should this be working for me? Any tips would be helpful.

Specifically, here's what I see:

3$ cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/cvs login (Logging in to [email protected])
CVS password: <I enter 'anoncvs' here>
cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs.infradead.org:2401 failed:
Connection refused
74$

Thanks!
Steve

T'was broke, because upgrading to Red Hat 7.3 removed the 'anoncvs' which I'd added to /etc/services, for the benefit of xinetd. I've fixed it now -- thanks.
