Note: In some cases, you need to pass the 'pserver' argument twice for
git-cvsserver to see it. So the line would look like

------
   cvspserver stream tcp nowait nobody git-cvsserver pserver pserver
-- snap --

So, maybe this solves your problem?

OTOH it might be cleverer to use SSH transport to begin with.

Hth,
