This would seem like the most likely cause. Otherwise, check what arguments inetd is running with ps -auxwww | fgrep inetd make sure you get the one with PID 172 in this case. Maybe someone is running one which is configured to run from a different config file. You could also use "sockstat" to find out if inetd is providing any other services which you don't expect it to. (As an aside, there is a small identd built in to FreeBSD's version of inetd which it can be told to use instead of an external one). David.
