Thanks for the suggestion...
The following seems to be working for me:
/usr/bin/xset s off
/usr/bin/xset -dpms

I think when I installed xinetd it overwrote my default settings, and
for some reason
my perform on login script isn't working.  I am going to drop the
above in my rc.local file and see if works on reboots.

Thanks for the help!!
