Hello,

i forgot to post the output of the /var/log/message log. For one
connection try it shows:

---------------------------------
Dec 28 16:45:57 hellbase xinetd[23733]: FAIL: gds_db address
from=192.168.0.1
Dec 28 16:45:57 hellbase xinetd[23684]: START: gds_db pid=23733
from=192.168.0.1
Dec 28 16:45:57 hellbase xinetd[23684]: EXIT: gds_db status=0
pid=23733 duration=0(sec)
Dec 28 16:45:59 hellbase xinetd[23734]: FAIL: gds_db address
from=192.168.0.1
Dec 28 16:45:59 hellbase xinetd[23684]: START: gds_db pid=23734
from=192.168.0.1
Dec 28 16:45:59 hellbase xinetd[23684]: EXIT: gds_db status=0
pid=23734 duration=0(sec)
-------------------------------------

So what could be the reason for the
"FAIL: gds_db address from=192.168.0.1"

The address is entered in hosts.equiv also DNS forward and reverse
lookup is working.

Thanks again for any help.

Nils
