I have tried every which way I can think of to try and get xinetd to read
the correct lines from /etc/services but it just does not want to jive.
Do you use NIS or other alternative name services?
The /etc/nsswitch.conf be be used to specify an alternative lookup
service for the services mappings, however the default is to use
/etc/services
Otherwise, your configuration looks fine.
