Summary:
Lots of hints especially from Joel but it took my finally breaking down and
going through the calendar file to notice that the error message as just red
herring. The problem had nothing to do with rpc.cmsd or inetd as the error
message indicated. Turns out the user had set access permissions to his
calendar file and simply mistyped the name of his machine so nobody had access
to his calendar. And of course if you ask the user, you get the standard "I
didn't change anything" response. Another one for the books...
