If you are getting lots of error messages in your syslog that look like: inetd[140]: /usr/openwin/bin/Xaserver: Hangup last message repeated 2623 times inetd[140]: /usr/openwin/bin/Xaserver: Hangup last message repeated 2497 times Just go into /etc/inet/inetd.conf and comment out the line about xaudio/Xaserver. Then, of course, you need to hup the inetd process to have the change take affect.
