CVS no such repository error..

Dear RedHat users,

I am trying to configure the CVS Server on RH 7.3 dist on i386.
I am using the default cvs that comes with the RH 7.3 dist.
I am resulting in the 'No repository' Error.

I have followed the following steps as mention in the link to configure the cvs server & test it: http://owen.sj.ca.us/rkowen/howto/cvs.html#server

export CVSROOT=/usr/local/src/cvsroot
cvs init

created users & grps:-
groupadd -g 8000 cvsgrp
useradd -u 8000 -g cvsgrp -d /u/cvs -s /bin/sh -c "CVS Repository" -m cvs

Set the ownership of the $CVSROOT and set the setgid bit on the directory
chown -R cvs $CVSROOT
chgrp -R cvsgrp $CVSROOT
chmod -R g+s $CVSROOT

grep cvs /etc/services resulted with:
cvspserver 2401/tcp #CVS client/server operations
cvspserver 2401/udp #CVS client/server operations

In /etc/xinetd.d I named a file cvspserver with:
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv =
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/usr/local/src/cvsroot pserver
}

and issued:
# service xinetd reload

Create or edit the following files in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT
readers added mukund, root to it

used htpasswd for creating entried of the file and appends each entry with ":cvs"
htpasswd -c passwd pseudo_username

CVS server access from the same machine ona diffrentr terminal:
# cvs -d :pserver:root@cvshost:/usr/src/cvsroot login { where cvshost = 100.100.100.28, cvs server IP}
Logging in to :pserver:root@cvshost:2401/usr/src/cvsroot
CVS passwd:
/usr/src/cvsroot: no such repository

Using the anonymous uses.....
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvshost:/usr/src/cvsroot login { where cvshost = 100.100.100.28, cvs server IP}
Logging in to :pserver:root@cvshost:2401/usr/src/cvsroot
CVS passwd: << blank poasswd >> { as I did not assign any}
/usr/src/cvsroot: no such repository

Also, when I tried to

# telnet 100.100.100.28 2401
Trying 100.100.100.28...
Connected to 100.100.100.28 (100.100.100.28)
Escape charecter is '^]'.
On pressing ENTER:
cvs {pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start:
Connection closed by foreign host.

Can somene please explain me where exactly I am commiting the mistake?

Thanks & Regards,
Mukund Jampala
