xinetd is definitely running. I used "service xinetd status" . It's
there.

I tried netstat as you suggested and it returns that 0.0.0.0 3050 is
listening.

I thought that was really weird as there were serveral other services
that had 127.0.0.1 3050. So I am confused as whether Linux is
allowing the outside world to see this. I also tried ISQL and it ran
fine.
