Last week I upgraded to xinetd-2.3.8 to bring us up to the lastest and
most secure version. Since the upgrade, all services but FTP have been
working fine. FTP will work for a few days, and then all of the sudden, no
longer accept connections. Sending xinetd a HUP results in the following
message:

ct 19 10:54:39 mercury xinetd[71519]: file descriptor of service ftp has
been closed
Oct 19 10:54:39 mercury xinetd[71519]: select reported EBADF but no bad
file descriptors were found

But, if I completely kill xinetd and then restart it, the service will
work properly again for a few days, until the same problem re-occurs. I'm
using the ftpd included in the base, and have the following entry for ftp
in my xinetd.conf file:

service ftp
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/libexec/ftpd
        server_args     = -l -l -S
}

Has anyone else seen anything like this before? Everything was working
great until the upgrade.

TIA!
-Steve
