We're CVS experts, not tdpd experts. Nonetheless, I don't think that's
correct. As I understand tcpd, that says that anyone is allowed to use
the http-rman server, whatever that is. I believe you want:
cvs: ALL
But that prompts the question, why bother running CVS under tcpd if
you're not going to restrict access to it?
