How to configure inetd.sec

[dictum9]

How does one configure the /var/adm/inetd.sec file to allow access to everything?

Hi:

There are examples here as well as a discussion of the layout:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60103/inetd.sec.4.html

Section-4 of the manpages is devoted to file layouts.

Regards!

If you want to allow everything coming inbound to this server, you can simply remove the inetd.sec file and the IP address check performed by inetd against this file will not be performed.

Word of caution: if your interfaces are facing internet or somewhat vulnerable networks with curious people around, you are subjecting yourself into a lot of nasties.

Hope this helps

Shalom etc,

Why are you allowing access to everything and using inetd.sec? Are you wishing to limit WHO has access to everything?

man page kind of doc here.

Very flexible, but only works for services provided by inetd daemon

Also know that xinetd is available as an open source port to HP-UX with the same security features provided by the Linux version.
