Now that is really strange. You will need to restart inetd for the added
args to take effect:
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart
I would be very interested to see your logs. If you could send the
relevant section to me I'd be greatful. If vsd itself was falling over
you would get a read timeout from vsdadm, so I don't know whats going
on.
