Hi my linux server crashed today. I found these are the last line in the log file just before i crashed.

Mar 8 07:21:13 myserver xinetd[5395]: warning: can't get client address: Connection reset by peer

Any idea, what caused this or a solution for this issue?

This just tells someone tried to connect to you and xinetd, which is a front end for a number of services, didn't get a ip-address and therefore broke the connection. All as it should be, something else cause the crash and there wasn't any logging of that event.

I do suggest you use tools like chkrootkit and rkhunter to check your server, as you don't get packages normally without the senders ip-number.
