As mentioned, RH 7.1 introduced xinetd, replacing inetd. Do a `man xinetd`
for more info. Everything is off by default, so you'll have to re-enable
things, as noted.
I'm not sure what is wrong with Netscape.
One thing I've noticed about large RedHat upgrades; avoid them. RPM wasn't
meant to do this kind of wholesale upgrading of a system. Unless the update
is something simple (like 6.1 to 6.2), it always seems better to reinstall
the OS. The 7.0 to 7.1 was pretty large; many parts of the OS were touched.
This is easier if you've laid out your filesystems so that extra software
you install is separate from the standard OS packages (e.g. make /usr/local,
/home, etc... their own filesystems).
Just my opinion.
