Question : CVS No Such Repository error

I am trying to setup a 2nd CVS repository and am receiving the error, 'Error fetching resource listing from repository... 'Connection refused: cvs [pserver aborted]: /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo1: no such repository.'

NOTES:
1. I am able to connect to my existing repository without a problem (it is located in /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo).
2. I've updated inetd.conf  and added the --allow-root option for the second repository.

So I am very confused as to why I am unable to connect to the new repository.

Here's what my inetd.conf looks like:
cvspserver      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs --allow-root=/var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo --allow-root=/var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo1 pserver

Here's the directory structure & permissions for the repository which is working properly:

Answer : CVS No Such Repository error

I found the issue.  While inetd.conf had configuration lines regarding CVS, the actual configuration was using the newer xinetd.conf.    I updated the server_args parameter with the additional repository paths and all works properly now.  Here's an example should anyone else stumble upon this (take note of the multiple '--allow-root' parameters and associated paths)

service cvspserver
{
     port = 2401
     socket_type = stream
     protocol = tcp
     user = root
     wait = no
     type = UNLISTED
     server = /usr/bin/cvs
     server_args = -f --allow-root /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo --allow-root /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo1 --allow-root /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo2 pserver
     disable = no
}
