Yeap, the daemon is running -- triggered from xinetd
Don't need (or WANT) root -- would like to use the config options of xinetd

Subject: Re: rexec via xinetd help
Is the rexec daemon installed? (/usr/sbin/in.rexecd)
What is /var/log/messages telling you?
If you need to run the rexec call as root, include rexec in
/etc/securetty
Hope it helps ...
ciao,
Hermann
