What I can tell you is that inetd is a system utility that starts up named 
servers (see /etc/inetd.conf) whenever a request is made to the named servers 
normal port (see /etc/services). It looks like something has happened to make 
gifaceserver crash so that each time inetd tries to start it, it crashes again.

So, two things:

1) we do not support gifaceserver any more, only sgifaceserver which is a 
sockets based version of the server.

2) Without a bit more information is is not possible to help you anyway, you 
would need to provide the entries for the server in /etc/services and 
/etc/inetd.conf and what version of acedb server you are using and what happens 
when you try to run the server in the foreground.

I'm sorry, I can't really help you with gifaceserver, we haven't supported it 
for some years now. If you swop to sgifaceserver then I'll do what I can, you 
need to read the socket server documentation at:

http://www.acedb.org/Development/wdoc/Socket_Server/SOCKET_aceserver.html

before you start setting it up.

cheers Ed
