To see what error it is actually throwing, add this to your /etc/syslog.conf (all one line):

Code:

daemon.debug    /var/log/syslog.daemon.debug    rotate size 5m files 1  # maintain 1 archived file, 5M

Touch the log file because the inetd won't create it:

Code:

touch /var/log/syslog.daemon.debug

then restart your inetd process:

Code:

stopsrc -s inetd; startsrc -s inetd

Restart your xntpd:

Code:

stopsrc -s xntpd; startsrc -s xntpd

Once it dies, look in the /var/log/syslog.daemon file for any errors. Maybe that will show what is going on.
