That (eventually) did it - thanks. From reading the UW docs, I had tried:

   make WITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT=yes

which looked liked reading the make file do the right thing. What's the
difference or where can I read about it? I other confusion came from having to
restart inetd. I would have thought that was not necessary.

Thanks for all the subbestions the others are topics for a new thread after I
RTFM some to get a bit smarter.
