You are trying to run xinetd with xinetd by doing this :-) It won't
work.
xinetd is a Unix daemon (equivalent to a Windows service) that runs
all the time and monitors ports on behalf of other programs. When a
request comes in to connect to a specific port that it knows about
(as defined in the files in /etc/xinetd.d) it accepts the connection
creating a socket and fires up the program associated with that port
and pipes input and output from the socket to/from that program. By
typing
service svn start
you are telling xinetd to start monitoring the svn port (3690).
Svnserve will not actually run until a request comes in.
Type
ps -ef | grep xinetd
at the command line and see if it gives you any output. If not,
xinetd is not running and you must start it. On most Linuxes I know
you would type something like
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start
to get it going. You would also need to take steps to make it run at
boot time which involves putting a symbolic link in /etc/rc.d/rcn.d
where n is the runlevel you want it to activate under (usually 2 or
3). However, there's probably a graphical interface that will manage
all this for you. Under SuSE you would use yast2, but it will be
different under Mandriva.
If you find xinetd is already running, then the problem must be in
your xinetd config somewhere. You can probably get an idea what it
is by trying to start svnserve and checking the system log for error
messages.
Having said all the above, my real advice is to find somebody who
understands about Linux daemons and xinetd and get them to help you.
Please don't be insulted but, judging by your attempt to start xinetd
as an xinetd service, your level of competence on Linux is probably
not (yet) high enough to be messing about with this stuff on your
own. You could break something quite badly if you are not careful.
