Here I set up the CVSROOT variable as a systemwide variable,
where the defaults are to access this local box. The hostname
is set correctly on this box so that the "hostname" command
returns the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of this box.

The following is from /etc/profile: 
http_proxy=http://proxy.mydomain.com:8080/
https_proxy=https://proxy.mydomain.com:8080/
CVSROOT=":pserver:`whoami`@`hostname`:/usr/local/cvsroot"

export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC http_proxy https_proxy CVSROOT
The following is a sample for /etc/xinetd.d/cvs, I haven't tested this particular cfg file
but it looks right: 
service cvspserver
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args     = --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot -f pserver
}


And don't forget the
mkdir /usr/local/cvsroot
cvs init -d /usr/local/cvsroot

I found other info here: http://www.elvenware.com/charlie/linux/cvsDocs.html
