Thanks Soenke. After I re-enabled it in inetd, it works perfectly.
Doesn't work in daemon mode, with the same configuration! Also my configuration
has always been inetd mode, but the upgrade appeared to turn that
off and if I recall correctly did not start the daemon either.
I started the daemon and found it did not work correctly.
thanks,
Hamish
