Anyway, last night, after a restart, the portmap gave port 993 to
rpc.rquotad. And thus when imaps tried to start, it failed:
zeus:/var/log# lsof -i :993
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
rpc.rquot 3341 root 4u IPv4 7401 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN)
PID 3341

PID 3297 In theory, you might put a delay between the processes to
allow xinetd to grab the needed ports before portmapper hands it out.
I realize portmap assigns ports (that aren't in use?) to rpc services,
giving it some port number below 1024. But why would portmap give it
993?
Why not? Not every one is using every one of the "well known ports".
Shouldn't portmap never give out 993?
Well, I'm not running IMAPS, so why shouldn't portmap hand it out? ;-)
How do I stop portmap from giving any service port 993? Or am I missing
some understanding of how portmap works?

Section 6.4
In kernels 2.4.13 and later with nfs-utils 0.3.3 or later you no longer have
to worry about the floating of ports in the portmapper. Now all of the
daemons pertaining to nfs can be "pinned" to a port. Most of them nicely take
a -p option when they are started; those daemons that are started by the
kernel take some kernel arguments or module options.
There's a lot more material in that HOWTO.
