You know the inetd(1M) and inetd.conf(4) man pages?

vi /etc/inetd.conf works for me. You could use sed, awk, or whatever --- it's just a textfile. Now, if you want to let inetd that you have made changes to the config file, you issue an inetd -c (HP-UX) or more generally send a SIGHUP to the inetd via kill -1 INETD_PID.

use any text editor , make changes , save and run # inetd -c start, this command will re-check the /etc/inetd.conf entries.

Hi,
/etc/inetd.conf is a normal ascii text file and you can edit it with vi. This is actually a configuration file for inetd daemon which handles different services.
Edit it with vi , save the changes.
Then execute "/usr/sbin/inetd -c" to make inetd daemon to reread the configuration file.
That's it.

see man inetd.conf and man inetd for more information.

Regards,

Hi,

Its just a text file and u can edit it with your editor. Better to keep a copy of this before modifying it. Then run init -c to update the changes.

Thanks
