I had similar problems on mdk80. It turned out to be the TMP environment variable when logged in as root was pointing to /root/tmp. When the client would connect (as a user), the tmp file fam creates would be created in /root/tmp/ and the client would not be able to open it. I fixed it by reseting the TMP variable in Listener.c++ before it calls tempnam(). You can also remove the TMP variable from the environment. Here's the fam patch I use to compile fam on my set:

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Mandrake 8.1 and am having fam troubles again.
Here's a snapshot from /var/log/syslog whenever I try and connect using the
fam test or efsd from the e17 project.
I'm running fam 2.6.4 and xinetd 2.3.3 to control fam.

Oct  6 21:22:09 Warthog fam[10844]: Shutting down connection

Does anyone have a fix for this.

Thanks Phil,
