OK...after a reading up a bit more i did a 'make deinstall' and 'make
reinstall' of the /devel/fam port.  Before this the output of 'ps -aux |
grep inetd' as user was:
makisupa  3330  0.0  0.1   512   392  p0  R+    8:45PM   0:00.00 grep
inetd 

There was no output as root.  Now there is no output as user and as root
the output is:
root      1895  0.0  0.0   348   228  p0  L+    1:04PM   0:00.00 grep
inetd

Still getting FAM errors and same weirdness...starting to drive me nuts!
Thanks everyone for your help...
