Fine. I have since reverted the patch for the "b" snapshot because of
the subtle failures you observed. There's more code review and some
thinking over concepts and requirements necessary that cannot happen in
a hurry. Back to the status quo ante.

That's ok. The question was whether the daemon started at all, and
*that* is independent of the IP you are connecting to (and hence, also
from, if it's an IP of your own computer) - and evidently the problem is
with xinetd or a firewall now, not leafnode.

OK, good to know they use decent compile options for Ubuntu.

It appears the IP addresses in /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.allow do not
match. What are your computers and their IP addresses (as per "ifconfig"
or "ip addr show" - doesn't matter which one you use)?
