We're in the process of setting up our production environment, and would like to install D6 via CVS. I know I'm running the correct command from shell, but on our new Red Hat server I get a "connection refused" error. We don't plan on setting up our own repository; all we need to do at this point is connect to cvs.drupal.org.

This is from the CVS manual:

Errors along the lines of "connection refused" typically indicate that inetd isn't even listening for connections on port 2401

Would anyone be able to tell me where to start troubleshooting this? We have a rather standard xinetd.conf file. Do I need to add anything? How can I check if it is listening for the correct port?

I get connection refused when connecting to cvs.drupal.org as well, when I connect from work. I turned off my firewalls, and the network admins have opened up port 2401, but I'm still getting the error. is drupal.org limiting or refusing connections from any specific blocks of IP addresses? I am able to access other cvs repos, just not drupal.org
