gdbserver as an inetdamon broken pipe

Ive added gdbserver in the inetd.conf and etc/services yet when I attempt to connect as follows I immediately get Remote communication error. Target disconnected.: Broken pipe. (gdb) target extended-remote rtx5:8010 Remote debugging using rtx5:8010 Remote communication error. Target disconnected.: Broken pipe. 8010 is what I have configured gdbserver to run on. However if I manually start gdbserver from the target with 8011 I can get them communicating. I tried adding "--multi" and the port to the inetd.conf file and reloaded it to no avail. is this possible?
