What does 'grep kotalkd /etc/xinetd.d' say?
I noticed the same thing on a fresh phoebe2 everything install. The problem is /etc/xinetd.d/kotalk: [root@winsucks xinetd.d]# grep kotalkd /etc/xinetd.d/* /etc/xinetd.d/kotalk: server = /usr/bin/kotalkd [root@winsucks xinetd.d]# In RHL 8.0, ktalkd supplied /usr/bin/kotalkd. The equivalent in beta4 is /usr/bin/ktalkd, which is supplied by kdenetwork, and there's already a separate /etc/xinetd.d/ktalk config file which enables that. AFAICT, deleting /etc/xinetd.d/kotalk is now fine
What he said... (kotalk: server = /usr/bin/kotalkd)
kotalkd is replaced from ktalkd. /etc/xinetd.d/kotalk should be removed.
