My guess is that even though it compiled & installed, it's not being started
by inetd/xinetd/whatever.  (You can see whether inetd/xinetd registered it
with the portmapper by going "rpcinfo -p | grep fam"; if you don't get
anything, it wasn't registered.  If you do get something like this...

    391002    1   tcp   1025  sgi_fam
    391002    2   tcp   1025  sgi_fam

it tells you that something has registered the fam service on port 1025,
and you can go "fuser 1025/tcp" to find the ID of the process, and ps to
find out the process' name & other information.)

Yeah, that looks horribly wrong, like the output from "find ."

There are a bunch of files in your /etc/xinetd.d?  (like one per service
started by inetd, maybe?)  Could you send me a small one?  And also the
output from the command "ps -ef | grep inetd" ?
