Problem with rplay: "rplayd: 127.0.0.1 permission denied"

I'm running an LFS system on VMware Workstation. I'm using FVWM, and am trying to get the native rplay support working. After fighting with the rplay sources downloaded from http://rplay.doit.org, I finally got the thing to compile and install. I've also installed xinetd, added entries for rplay in /etc/services (rplay 5555/udp, rplay 55555/udp, rptp 5556/tcp, rptp 55556/tcp), and created a /etc/xinetd.d/rplay file as follows:

Code:

# Begin /etc/xinetd.d/rplay

service rplay
{
   disable        = no
   id             = chargen-dgram
   socket_type    = dgram
   protocol       = udp
   server         = /usr/sbin/rplayd
   server_args    = --inetd
   user           = rplayd
   group          = audio
   wait           = yes
}

# End /etc/xinetd.d/rplay

I then compiled FVWM with rplay support and added the following lines to my .fvwm2rc:

Code:

AddToFunc InitFunction
+ I Module FvwmEvent
*FvwmEvent:             Cmd builtin-rplay
*FvwmEvent:             StartDelay 3
*FvwmEvent:             Delay 1
*FvwmEvent:             startup         gong.au
*FvwmEvent:             add_window      wipe.au
*FvwmEvent:             destroy_window  pook.au
*FvwmEvent:             iconify         clong.au
*FvwmEvent:             deiconify       clong.au
*FvwmEvent:             windowshade     slide.au
*FvwmEvent:             dewindowshade   slide.au
*FvwmEvent:             new_page        slide.au
*FvwmEvent:             new_desk        slide.au

However, I get no sounds. So I stopped xinetd, and ran "sudo rplayd -d" in an xterm. It seems to start up correctly, no errors or warnings. So I open another xterm and run "rplay gong.au" (gong.au is defined in rplay.conf), and I get "rplayd: 127.0.0.1 permission denied". If I try "rplay nofile", I get four error messages:

Code:

rplayd: 127.0.0.1 permission denied
rplayd: 127.0.0.1 permission denied
rplayd: 127.0.0.1 RPTP access denied
rplayd: 127.0.0.1 permission denied

So this seems to tell me that it's seeing that there's a file there, but can't read it for some reason.

I've tried adding my host (as 127.0.0.1, localhost, and <hostname>) with rwx permission, and that didn't change anything. I've also checked the permissions on the sound files and folder they live in (rplayd:audio, rw-rw-r--), and the folders leading up to it (root:root, rwxr-xr-x). I'm not sure what other permissions I might need to check. Anyone have any ideas?
