Strange stuff on logs, followed by reboot

Hi, pp.
    I wonder what this is:
Jun 14 18:41:39 laura inetd[52]: unblessed/tcp: unknown service
Jun 14 18:41:39 laura inetd[52]: ntalk/udp: no such user 'tty', service

ignored

    The machine goes high and reboots, or hangs, just after these
messages.

    Any ideas?

    []'s,
    RCT.

fortress, but it makes no difference if it slowly sinks into the ground."
