Xinetd won't start unless a service is calling for it. YaST, Network Services, Network Services (inetd), is anything enabled?
It turned out that there was something in a configuration file for a service that I wasn't using that xinetd objected to, and it was exiting when it encountered it. Simply removing the file from xinetd.d solved it. That seems rather poor program design to me. I should have thought a better approach would be for xinetd not to make that particular service available and to start with the validly configured services, rather than just giving up altogether. - Richard. -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/
