Very off-topic :)  I may as well answer your question as I tell you to
go away:

in /etc/services
cvspserver   2401/tcp

in /etc/inetd.conf (or similar)
cvspserver stream tcp nowait cvs /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs -b /usr/local/bin pserver
re-init inetd.

Create your repository with 
cvs -d /path/to/cvs/repository init

The GNU info pages are an excellent source of information on this - if
you are running on reasonably recent distribution, from emacs, use M-x
"info" (or C-h, i), then "g", "(cvs)Repository".  Failing that,
http://www.cyclic.com is the primary CVS home page.
