running krb5kdc from xinetd

[Leland Wallace]

I am investigating the feasibility of launching krb5kdc out of xinetd.

Currently I am using the following config in /etc/xinetd.d/

service = kerberos
{
	disable 		= no
	socket_type	= stream
	server		= /usr/sbin/krb5kdc
	server_args	= -n
	protocol		= tcp
	port			= 88
	wait			= yes
	user			= root
}

The KDC launches just fine, but it does not complete the request that  
triggered the launch. If I quit kinit & try again, it all works
as the kdc is running. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have also  
tried setting it up as a dgram service, but that does
not work (the kdc complains that it can't bind to port 88/tcp). Both  
client and server are Mac OS X 10.3.x

TIA
Leland
