Description of problem:
When linuxconf accessed via web browser (xinetd 2.3.0-1.71 installed)
the initial connection succeeds, but attempt to update a change
in configuration field fails.

the browser indicates broken connection (lynx message:
"Unexpected network error; connection aborted")

At the same time, xinitd syslog entry pops the message:
"warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not
connected"

If linuxconf started with --http option, then everything works
fine with connection to the port 8000, thus indicating the
linuxconf-xinetd communication problem


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Ugrade (install) to xinetd 2.3.0-1.71
2.Make appropriate linuxconf and xinetd configuration to enable web access
to linuxconf (as per Red Hat documentation)
3.Start browser with http://localhost:98
4.Change contents of any field and press button "Accept"
	

Actual Results:  failed to accept configuration changes


Expected Results:  expected to accept and update configuration changes


Additional info:

Lynx error message:
"Unexpected network error; connection aborted"

Xinetd warning message:
"warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not
connected"

The version of xinetd that comes with Red Hat 7.1 CDs does not
work with linuxconf at all, therefore the upgrade to the recently
posted updated xinetd version (2.3.0-1.71) is required
