Just a heads-up, maybe it can be addressed by SL before 5.4 is released... The update for OpenIPMI included with RHEL-5.4 added a new and unnecessary dependency on xinetd. (It also mistakenly installs a file into /etc/xinetd.d/ with executable bits set.) If you use OpenIPMI, and didn't have xinetd installed or running before the update to 5.4, well you will afterwards.
