I am having a problem getting my RPC service started using inetd.  I am working
on a SparcStation 2 and using Sun's rpcgen to generate my client and server
'stubs'.  The RPC client and server work fine if I start the server up myself
but when I try to start it using inetd, the client just returns without a
message.  I have,
	1. Used rpcgen with the -I option. (to enable inetd support)
	2. Made an entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file for the service.
	3. Made an entry in the /etc/rpc file for the service.
Also, running rpcinfo shows the service listed as being a service known to
the portmapper.

What am I doing wrong?
