Yes, it is on in 3/4/5 and there is an entry in that log saying it succeded, as it also shows on the screen. This is the stock xinetd.

Byron,

After you reboot, do you see anything in /var/log/boot.log saying xinetd even tried to startup?

Do a /sbin/chkconfig --list and make sure that xinetd has "3:on" and not "3:off".

Also, is this the stock xinetd or the one in /pub/people/ryan?

-r
