That's the first thing I check.

I just discovered from manpages of 'inetd' that port 37/13 is only TCP.
Still, I'm confused by the fact that
    netdate udp localhost
    netdate tcp localhost
both work, but 
    netdate udp 127.0.0.1
    netdate tcp 127.0.0.1
only TCP works.  I think 'netdate' internally translates to TCP if it
sees "localhost" on command line.
