"ps aux | grep xinet" showed this:
root       740  0.0  0.4  2248  776 ?        S    Aug09   0:00 xinetd

grep xinet

also, check the '/etc/rc.d/rc3.d' (replace 3 with whatever runlevel you 
start with) for an 'S56xinetd' file.  the '56' part might be different.  
If you have a K##xinetd (replacing ## with a number) then xinetd isnt set 
to start at that runlevel.   'chkconfig xinetd on' will fix that :)

run 'ipchains -L' and 'iptables -L'.  I dont remember redhat 7.1, but I 
think it sets up some basic firewall stuff for you on the local machine.

for apache, check the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file for the line 
"ServerName" directive.  make sure its set to something other than 
'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' (preferably the actual ip the 7.1 box is using)

for samba, 'smbclient -L localhost' see if there is any output.  then 
'smbclient -L ipaddress' and check the same.   if you get good output from 
'localhost' but not your actual ipaddress, then samba is bound to 
localhost only.   look in the smb.conf file for a 'interfaces' line (I 
believe) and change it to eth0 or whatever it should be on.
