I went back and started with my July 11 syslog and discovered the same
error message up to and including today's log file.
---------------snip---------------
Jul 11 14:05:18 microwave xinetd[21095]: inetd.conf - Bad value for wait:
nowait.400 [file=/etc/inetd.conf] [line=40]

I remembered that these services (9571, 9572 & 2000) appeared within my
inetd.conf file.

(line numbers added for reference)
38 - #:OTHER: Other services
39 - #<off># netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/smbd
40 - swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/tcpd

---------------snip---------------
This is far beyond my knowledge and I am sorry, I do not know what to do with
this information except to ask, "now, what?"
