The xinetd daemon doesn't link with libpam, so I doubt it's an issue.  I
think it's more likely that, because supplemental group membership is
retrieved from all available sources, xinetd is attempting to determine
which of the groups you've defined in the directory server the user is a
member of.

If that is indeed what's happening, then you'll want to look into
adjusting the value of the "nss_initgroups_ignoreusers" in nss_ldap's
configuration file.

HTH,
