Thanks for the partial include - I have a feeling that it a *pretty large* file :-) If you have a look at the startup script, you will see that it is a symlink to /etc/init.d/xinetd ? Anyway: [2]wyvern:~$ dpkg -S rpc.portmap dpkg: *rpc.portmap* not found. You have mail in /var/spool/mail/bridgett You have mail in /home/bridgett/mail/kernel You have new mail in /home/bridgett/mail/Debian/mentor You have mail in /home/bridgett/mail/Debian/devel You have mail in /home/bridgett/mail/Debian/user You have mail in /home/bridgett/mail/Debian/bugs [2]wyvern:~$ dpkg -S portmap netbase: /usr/sbin/portmap netbase: /usr/man/man8/portmap.8.gz netbase: /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz So it looks like it has changed it's name to portmap. Is this the latest xinetd package you have - if so then it looks like a bug report may be needed!
