Hi, I am wondering what to do about the following: I have upgraded from RH7.2 to RH8.0 on three machines. I noticed some would hang at startx. In some cases, if portmap is listed as allowed in /etc/hosts.allow, then startx will hang unless I also put in a line allowing fam:ALL. If I remove the portmap:127.0.0.1 line from /etc/hosts.allow, then I can also remove the fam:ALL line. fam:127.0.0.1 doesn't solve the startx hanging problem. In /var/log/secure, it shows multiple failures of fam from an <unknown address>. In messages xinetd complains about "transport endpoint not connected". I have seen various references to this problem in different mailing list archives, but I have not seen any solutions mentioned so far.
