Fixing xinetd configurations under 10.2.2 System
As of 10.2.2, it appears xinetd doesn't support emtpy server_args entries any more. Deleting the line starting with server_args solves the problem and ftp, pop3, imap4 or whatever internet service you are running from xinetd will start working again. So if any of the entries in the xinetd.d directory contain this line...
 server_args     = 
... you'll need to remove that line after upgrading to 10.2.2.

[Editor's note: There were no entry server_args entries on my system, so I can't verify this hint.]

Works for me

I have several services with server_args fields. They work fine for me under 10.2.2.

Are they blank lines? I have server_args, but they all have arguments...

Proftpd works again

Thanks...

Being lazy, I didn't bother to have anything for server_args, but once I added "-c /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf" after the '=', everything worked groovy.
