Worked fine for me when I cut-and-pasted yours into my xinetd.d directory, and re-started xinetd. I'm guessing that we actually have to pay attention to the error message:
can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected Is it possible that your IP(chains|tables) is blocking this? I'm guessing it's stopping it on the client side; you might try, from the "server", doing a telnet 127.0.0.1 666 and see what happens. If that works, it's time to work over your firewall config. -Ken On Sat, 8 Dec 2001, Jeff Macdonald wrote: > Hi, > Anybody runnig their own program out of xinetd?
