[olug] Telnet on Private Network

[Mike Peterson]

All xinetd services are working again now.
There was an incorrectly coded line in /etc/xinetd.conf that caused all the
trouble.
The line did not have curly braces around it and looks like it was a through
back to inetd.
The line was meant to start swat to maintain the samba access to the server.
