OK, "20001/1" is an rpc style entry, saceserver does not use rpc, the acedb
server that was based on rpc is dead, we no longer distribute it.
Looking at the above I see that your inetd.conf entry will result in the server
running as user "nobody", does this user have permission to read/write to the
database ? I would guess not, if this is the case then that is the source of
your problem. The server will detect that it does not have permission to
read/write the database and exit. The reason the server works in the foreground
is that you are probably running it as you, and you have permission to
read/write to the database.
Please read:
wdoc/SOCKET_aceserver.html
which you should find comes with the server code. If there is anything you are
unsure about then email me direct.
Please, please note that you _must_ get all permissions right for the database
and so that the userid you put in inetd.conf, under which the server will run,
can access the database.
