The "right" way on redhat to start and stop services is
"/sbin/service $NAME restart", e.g. "/sbin/service xinetd restart".

That's a dump bug.  On the 2.4 kernel with older versions of dump, it

tar instead.  You could also try downloading and installing the most 
recent version of dump from http://dump.sourceforge.net/.
