inetd is a daemon that sort of acts as a front end to several
internet daemons without having to have all the progs running all
the time. It listens to the ports for each service it is setup for
in /etc/inetd.conf and when it dectects activity for the port it
then launches the program and passes control to it. inetd also
uses tcpwrappers, a program that provides a standard set of access
rules that allows for pretty fine grained control of which machines
can access which services.
RH7.0 uses the latest version of inetd, xinetd. I have not looked
at it yet but the setup is different. It sounds like fam is trying
to set itself up in inetd but it is prbably not running on your RH
7.0 machine.
