Interesting, I printed out /etc/services (on my RH 5.2 box) and there is
no listing for linuxconf or port 98! (And yes my RH 5.2 box listens on
port 98.)  /etc/services is the first thing I checked. 

BTW: I HATE linuxconf! I still use Control-panel as much as possible and
will hate to see it's demise.
