What xinetd version ships with Mandrake 9.0?

What does tcpdchk print (but ignore messages about services not being
listed in inetd.conf, you're using xinetd.conf which tcpdchk does not
understand)?

Does adding

leafnode: [::ffff:127.0.0.1]

to hosts.allow help?

Depending on the xinetd version, xinetd might be unable to properly map
sockets, so if you could try the latest xinetd version from
http://xinetd.org, that might help solve the issue.
