Originally reported to Debian in 2005 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324678 and rediscovered https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1006100, xinetd would execute configured TCPMUX services without dropping privilege to match the service configuration allowing the service to run with same privilege as the xinetd process (root).
