  I've recently installed xinetd on my BSDI machine, and upon restarting the 
system I received a message stating that tcpmux was not a valid internal 
protocol.  I have checked the inetd.conf against the xinetd.conf and 
everything seems to match, and the system seems to operate fine.  
  I'm wondering just what tcpmux is and why xinetd can't find it when inetd 
can.
