Hi, 

If you install approx but use xinetd instead of openbsd-inetd no config file is 
created, which causes approx not being called.

Using approx out of the box with xinetd throw the following message in 
/var/log/daemon.log:

      Aug 16 17:01:30 digdug approx[3348]: getsockname: Socket operation on 
non-socket

After adding folloing configuration file and a restart of xinetd, approx worked 
as expected:

[@digdug: ~]$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/approx 
service approx
{
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = approx
        server                  = /usr/sbin/approx
}
