Have you reviewed this bug?

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=74696

Perhaps the:

flags = NOLIBWRAP

addition that is discussed provides some help for you.

Mike,

Thanks very much.  I read the bug report and have added the flag.  I am also having
problems
with the gnome interface so  this problem may be affected gnome as well.  Looks like
there
is another FC1 user in the bug report that has a the same problem.  I'll watch mine
to see
if the flag fixes things and  then make a report to bugzilla myself.

Thanks again for your help!!!

Greg

Everyone,

I think I need some additional help.

I filled a bugzilla report that was very helpful.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119918

Jay Fenlason suggested that I get xinetd-2.3.13-1.src.rpm from the rawhide download
section of FC.  I could not get the rawhide link to connect, but did find the rpm on:

http://spirit.bentel.sk/opennalinux/1.0/UPDATES/SRPMS/

I was able to compile 2.3.13 without difficulty using the following command line
options:

./configure --with-libwrap --with-loadavg

The config.log file contains the following entries:
configure:7901: checking whether to use libwrap
configure:7913: result: yes
configure:7915: checking for request_init in -lwrap
configure:7946: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lwrap  -lm -lcrypt  >&5

configure:7586: checking whether to compile in loadavg
configure:7598: result: yes

The size of the new xinetd was much larger:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 878195 Apr 17 16:15 xinetd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 157792 Apr 17 13:21 xinetd.2.3.12

The problem I have is that when I activate xinetd and look at the entry in the
messages log, it appears that the libwrap and loadavg options were installed.

I did not discover any erros in the compile process and have the following questions:

1. Is xinetd-2.3.13-1 compatible with FC1 or should it be reserved for FC1.9?
2. I was surpirsed by the difference in file size of .12 and .13 and wonder if I did
something wrong.
3. The log files indiate both options were installed but the message log files
indicate contrary.  Does anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks,

Greg Ennis
