Socket timeout issue

[Hari Sekhon]

you'll likely have to apt-get install xinetd which will uninstall inetd, 
so you should probably check if you have any services running through 
that (or any backdoors running through that ;-) )

if you do, you can convert the inetd config to xinetd with the itox command.

-h
