I was not aware that inetd(8) presented exit codes in hexadecimal (I seem
to remember it being decimal exit codes) so this is one source of confusion.
If the reported (are you sure?) 0xb exit code is from Merit RADIUS (which
seems odd since they are all negative -- don't ask...) it may be that some
one has taken to converting the -11 (socket BIND error) code to +11 (0xb)
but that seems very unlikely. Although you could check to see if some one
else is holding the 1645 UDP port when you try to start the Merit server.
I would use netstat or lsof to do this...
What is the platform? What is the operating system? Is this inetd(8) or
xinetd(8)? Is the Merit server statically linked or dynamically linked?
