I managed to get it working on 6B3:

Have a look at http://www.caw.co.za/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=18#18

I cannot see why it would not work on 5.6.

Any feedback will be welcome

Thanks for the pointer to the article. The problem appears to be that the config files have changed. Replace the template code for hosts.allow with the following:
{
    use esmith::NetworksDB;

        my ($network, $broadcast) =
            esmith::util::computeNetworkAndBroadcast ($LocalIP, $LocalNetmask);
        my $localAccess = "127.0.0.1, $network/$LocalNetmask";

        $OUT .= "\n";
        $OUT .= "# cvs pserver\n";
        $OUT .= "cvs : $localAccess\n";
}

This was 'borrowed from the appletalk section, with conditional stuff removed. Only presents to local network (probably what you want - pserver is not very secure).

Also, don't forget to re-start xinetd:
kill -s SIGHUP cat /var/run/xinetd.pid
