Stephen you are a God-Send

I checked my links, they were deffinately messed up, so I opt'ed for the reinstall option.

After reinstalling, I rebooted - the messages still showed up, so I went into SysV and found that xinetd was still starting up, as well as inetd - which I wanted. So, I removed xinetd from starting up within SysV. Did another reboot, no luck, still the messages - finally, got the hint, purge remove xinetd, did another reboot.

The messages are gone - my xchat works perfectly - Mozilla works perfectly - KMail works perfectly - and GuardDog is still in defend mode

Thanks millions Stephen, I _seriously_ appreaciate all the help on this,
Cuddles
