You need to combine these into one line:

cvspserver  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs \
  --allow-root=/tmp/cvsroot \
  --allow-root=/opt/projects/unixadmin/src-repository \
  --allow-root=/opt/projects/audionet/src-repository pserver

I show the line continuation backslashes, but do not put those into
inetd.conf. The command should be one command on one line.
