Usually 'localhost' is excluded from all that anyway.

Check that everything is set up ok, from a shell:

imac:~ abarrett$ grep cvspserve /etc/services
cvspserver      2401/udp    # cvspserver
cvspserver      2401/tcp    # cvspserver


imac:~ abarrett$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver
service cvspserver
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/bin/cvsnt
        server_args     = authserver
        groups          = yes
        flags           = REUSE IPv6
        mdns            = no    # Lockserver handles mdns broadcast
}


If that is what you see then a reboot of your box after installing CVSNT should make everything run OK.  If not then try this and send us your results:

imac:~ abarrett$ telnet localhost 2401
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

cvsnt [server aborted]: bad auth protocol start: 
error  
Connection closed by foreign host.
