SOAPpy under xinetd?

[Harry George]

I'm trying to setup a SOAPpy service under xinetd.  Has someone done
this sort of thing?  Didn't find it from google searches or
documentation.  This is probably a sockets-level issue, but I was
hoping someone in python land had done this with SOAPpy before.

The server works fine as simple SOAP server and client pair on
localhost.  But when I try to put it under xinetd, it fails.  Using
"xinetd -d" I can see it is failing due to address in use.  Does this
represent xinetd and SOAPServer competing for use of the port?

Perhaps as a result of failed binding, and perhaps as a separate
issue, the client fails on connection refused.  I have hosts.deny
ALL:ALL.  For a non-well-known service, I don't see how to add my new
service to hosts.allow.  Even when I make an entry in /etc/services,
and provide an entry in hosts.allow, I still get the connection
reset.
