[TriLUG] iptables and opening a port, CVS

[Scott Lundgren]

chkconfig turns off a service for runlevels(ie: you wouldn't notice it
wasn't running until the next reboot), to turn iptables off immediately use
'/sbin/service iptables stop'. I suspect CVS is not running. How was cvs
being used via SSH or ye old cvspserver? If it was via pserver when you did
the upgrade did you create a xinetd entry for it? I've copied mine in below.
