Um, did you replace /usr/libexec from your backup or is it using the 
version from etc31.tgz?  If it is from the backup, try getting it from 
etc31.  If it from etc31, try merging the version from your backup.  If you 
just restored /etc from the backup, I suggest getting a list of what is in 
etc31.tgz and rechecking them.  (There are several directories that have 
files from there.)
