I haven't figured out how to configure xinetd so it will run FAM. My /etc/xinetd.d/fam file is below. service fam { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = yes user = root group = root server = /usr/sbin/fam disable = no type = RPC UNLISTED rpc_version = 2 rpc_number = 391002 } On restarting xinetd, the following messages show up in syslog: Nov 26 07:45:10 odysseus xinetd[14988]: pmap_set failed. service=fam program=391002 version=2 Nov 26 07:45:11 odysseus xinetd[14988]: Service fam failed to start and is deactivated. Nov 26 07:45:11 odysseus xinetd[14988]: 14988 {init_services} no services. Exiting... Starting fam from the command line as root works fine.
