I looked the page before posting to this group... it's very curious that xinetd can not handle well RPC services. :-( > At least inetd and xinetd can coexist on one box. So you can use NFS via > inetd and use everything else via xinetd. Sounds strange, doesn't it? Yup. Now I've got rpc.mountd & rpc.nfsd running in 'daemon' mode. At least I can 'delete' inetd. Thanks for your help. If I ever find a way around the problem, I'll post it here. -- p.
