I get this when I run restart for the xinetd service:

Stopping xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]

And for the rpm command:

xinetd-2.3.12-6.3E.2

So xinetd is installed I presume?

Jeff (who's doing a darned good job of helping you, and he's doing everything patiently and perfectly) and you are going to find out that you'll get it working in the end, but even then, Red Hat's sgi_fam is utter shit and even when you've got it running, you'll still get the same, literally the same, errors.

I write that as a RHAS3/RHAS4 sysadmin (who's married to Red Hat, wouldn't leave her for the world, but she has her warts and blemishes as do all the others, there's no perfect distro or OS) who has solved the whole thing to his own satisfaction by rpm-building and installing SGI's fam 2.7.0. Both on RHAS3 and RHAS4. For me it works on both, with Courier IMAP 3.0.6 thru 4.0.6. Others spit on it, especially BSD people, of which I'm not one (it's SYSV all down the line, for me; that's how my granny brought me up).

This self same famd stuff has previously been *discussed to death* on this list and no-one has yet come up with "the perfect solution". What works for me (perfectly) doesn't work for others, I've no idea why.

Best,
