recfind on sol 2.5.1

recfind is an old proprietary records management program/database. Users can
log into the system through a Windows app. recfind involves some daemons that
are kicked off out of inetd. the system that this was running from was
working fine until we needed to reboot the server yesterday to make more room
on the disks. nothing has changed in the configuration of the server, that we
know about, for ages and yet it now works. inetd doesn't seem to like the
line in inetd.conf referring to recfind.

from inetd.conf:
recfind stream tcp nowait root /recfind/tcpio/tcpio tcpio

from /etc/services:
recfind 1994/tcp # recfind tcp/io engine

error:

helios# ps -ef|grep inetd
root 147 1 0 11:58:36 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/inetd -s
root 391 376 0 12:28:40 pts/1 0:00 grep inetd
helios# kill -HUP 147
helios# tail /var/adm/daemon*
