rexecd: connection reset by peer

- Organization: Apropos Retail Management Systems, Inc.
All (esp. Corinna and Larry Hall):
I have inetutils installed, inetd set up as a service, and rexec is
enabled.
It "works", but there's a problem:
me@linuxbox$ rexec cygbox pwd
Password:
/home/me
rexec: Error in read from remote host: Connection reset by peer
me@linuxbox$
I've been doing some searching in the mailing list to see if this is a
known problem, and have seen a few mentions of connection resets in
reference to inet services, but no clear resolution.
This behavior is breaking our application because, even though the reset
occurs after the command output completes, the reset does still occur
and is trapped as an error. Our application developer is seeing whether
we can work around this.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why the connection reset is occurring, and
what can be done to keep it from happening when the rexecd process exits
properly?
Thanks!
