This is fixed in 2.3.13-1, which is in rawhide. You can grab the xinetd-2.3.13-1.src.rpm and rebuild it for Fedora Core 1, if you don't want to upgrade to rawhide. To work around this, if you don't want to rebuild xinetd, you can add flags=NOLIBWRAP to the sgi_fam stanza in /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam, and run /sbin/service xinetd reload
Thanks for your help and suggestions. I had already tried the flag=NOLIBWRAP but it did not change the symptoms. Is rawhide FC2? Thanks again!
Didja remember to tell xinetd to reload it's config after you turned on flags=NOLIBWRAP? I've forgotten to do that a few times :-( Rawhide is the absolutely latest packages. Every now and then they're bundled up, qa'd and turned into a FCn test release, or qa'd a lot and turned into a FCn final release. "Is rawhide FC2?", well, yes and no.
