Syslog message

Dan Walker — Thu, 20 Nov 2003 15:22:29 GMT

Receiving every 10 minutes the following message in syslog.log
syslog: identd: remote owner request failed : no such file or directory

how do I correct this, Thanks

A remote inetd user is trying to access a file that does not exist.

inetd -l

That will enhance logging and maybe get you more detail.

I did that and see nothing happening yet also how do I turn it off once done.

'inetd -l' is a toggle. Off on off on, etc.

I went into /etc/inetd.conf and commented out the identd entry.

Sorry, that's mistake. Just run it as "inetd"

Add

set -x

To the .profile or script that starts things up on the server.

That will get you more diagnostics.
