Michael,

  Thanks.  All files in /etc/xinetd.d directory look fine (both size and 
content) as far as I can tell.  Compared to another server and see no
obvious errors.

 Created an xinetd.org directory and moved each file from xinetd.d
to that directory, restarting xinetd after each.  No change even when
the directory was down to no files left (/etc/xinetd.d) still seeing the
no active service messages.

 Support request sent with Allow access checked.
Really appreciate it.
