I have python scripts that open a udp socket to the echo and daytime internal xinetd servers, and do 10 replications of the send/redcieve udp pair. This works as expected with xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1 from RHL 7.0, but fails with xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14-2 or -3 from RHL 7.1 beta 3. The failure seems to be going into an eternal wait for a response.
Could you attach that script?

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Release-Candidate #1
After more investigation, this defect is no longer a MUST-FIX for the Florence release.
Problem removed in xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14-6 - xinetd really wants to use same servicename for the tcp and udp versions. This doesn't match well with our current tools. Also, I've yet to see the UDP servers being used while the TCP versions are somewhat used.
