I've had a problem telnet-ing to my machine recently, and the reason is
because xinetd is not starting. This is because the startup script (S20xinetd)
checks for a file called "/usr/sbin/rpc.portmap" and, as it is not on my system,
causes the startup script to exit:
--- LISTING OF S20xinetd ---
#!/bin/sh
#
# Start networking daemons. (with xinetd)
test -f /usr/sbin/rpc.portmap || exit 0 # <-- THE CULPRIT
test -f /usr/sbin/xinetd || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting base networking daemons: "
echo -n "rpc.portmap " ; start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec
/usr/sbin/rpc.portmap
echo -n "xinetd" ; start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec
/usr/sbin/xinetd
echo
;;
stop)
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --exec /usr/sbin/xinetd
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --exec /usr/sbin/rpc.portmap
killall -9 slattach 2>/dev/null || exit 0
;;
reload)
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/inetd.pid
--signal 1 --exec /usr/sbin/xinetd
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/netbase {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0

I've tried to find the package containing this file, but could not do so:
--- CONTENTS (PARTIAL) OF "bo/Contents-i386" ---

What should I do about this?
TIA
