syslog tweaking..

[Paul Torp]

on one of my hpux servers running hp-ux 11.00, I've got "spamming" from from inetd.

The same message appear every other minute:
N 00:00:22 myhostname inetd registrar/tcp: Connection from myhostname (myip) at Fri Dec 17 00:00:22 2004

We have traced this back to /etc/services: registrar 1712/tcp # resource monitor service

How do I turn this off using /etc/syslog.conf ?
The syntax there and the possibilities is not what i've used to.

Is it simply the inetd's extended logging you want to turn off?
Then a simple "/usr/sbin/inetd -l" would suffice.

tnx a lot for the quick answer...

i guess this fix is not permanent.

I want it to be dead after a reboot as well

[Ralph Grothe]

Have a look at /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons
if the inetd argument variable holds the -l option.
If so remove it.

OK i read the man pages on inetd.. the default is OFF..

Its turned off now..
