I have never seen that (nor do I see it now). Also, I can't even telnet or
ftp from the host to itself:
frankfurt> telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
frankfurt> telnet frankfurt
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
frankfurt> ftp localhost
ftp: connect: Connection refused
frankfurt>
frankfurt> ftp frankfurt
ftp: connect: Connection refused
I think the listeners are just not running. Could it be that 7.1 turns off
nearly all of usual inbound TCP ports commonly cracked into? If so, I
don't know exactly how to turn them back on...

The above did not help, and yeah, I think the problem is xinetd, but I'm
not exactly sure WHERE the problem is or how to fix it...

Yeah, me too. :-)
I'll check the fonts dir anyway...
