Getting OmniBack service to start on RH 7.0

[Timothy Czarnik]

Hey all,

I know this is not supported, but we're trying it anyway. I have the needed OmniBack files in place on the server. We are trying to add the Omniback service to the box. I added the line to the /etc/services file for OmniBack. I now need to modify the xinetd daemon to start the service when needed.

I created an "omni" file in the /etc/xinetd.d directory with this in it"

# default: on
# description: The omni server serves OmniBack requests
service omni
#Startup for Omni back port 5555
{
type = INTERNAL UNLISTED
protocol = tcp
port = 5555
server = /usr/omni/bin/inet -log /usr/omni/log/inet.log
socket_type = stream
wait = no
}

After stopping/starting the xinetd daemon, we are still unable to get any answer when attempting to telnet to port 5555 on the server, much less get OmniBack to talk to it.

What are we doing wrong? ANY help would be greatly appreciated (and rewarded!) We're looking to break new ground here, and you can be a part of it! :)

Thanks in advance,

-Tim

Hey all,

Just thought you should know... Seeing as how it was a fresh install of Linux, we removed everything and installed RH v6.1. While we were not able to do a remote install, we did do a local install following the Installation Guide exactly, and all things work fine.

We're done exploring new ground! :)

P.S. I'll still award points for any additional info to the original problem, but it's no longer a priority for us.

Thanks!

make a file /etc/xinetd.d/omni with following contentservice omni

{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/omni/bin/inet
log_type = FILE /usr/omni/log/inet.log
port = 5555
}
