tcpd permission denied

[John Patton <patton66@home.com>]

Looking at my logs, I see that there are MANY messages that
look like the following:

  Apr 11 07:03:43 debian inetd[19041]: execv /usr/sbin/tcpd: Permission denied

The permissions for tcpd are:

  -rwxr-x---    1 root     root         4.1k Feb 11  2000 /usr/sbin/tcpd

Are the above errors normal, or are the permissions on tcpd
wrong? I will say that I do get finger requests which are
run through tcp wrappers via inetd... unless something weird
is happening with that. Oh, and if it's important: I'm
running a potato system, kernel 2.2.19.

Thanks for you help.
