I cannot find such a service. I am running Mandriva 2006 Official, and this is
what I see in /etc/init.d/

[joehill at node4 init.d]$ ls
acpi*       haldaemon*   mandrake_consmap     network*     portmap*     usb*
acpid*      halt*        mandrake_everytime*  nfs*         rawdevices*  webmin*
alsa*       harddrake*   mandrake_firstime*   nfslock*     single*      xfs*
atd*        keytable*    mDNSResponder*       nifd*        smb*

functions   lm_sensors*  netplugd*            partmon*     udev*

Has xinetd been switched to something else?

How'd you know I tried that? ;-)

Thanks for you reply!
