If this is really a a Linux call and not an hpux call, the command is xinetd.

service xinetd start

I do suspect that this is a HP-UX call and I'd say the first step in that situation is to post the inetd.conf configuration, OS and system type.

That always helps.

There really is not output from the inetd command. It just does what its told. The output in hpux goes to /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Hi

Firstly, what Linux flavour are you running. inetd varies from system to system, as with RH9, there's only an xinetd daemon, where on other *nix flavours, there's an inetd daemon again.

Hi

The inetd process is called as xinetd and it is /etc/init.d

#/etc/init.d/xinetd start
#/etc/init.d/xinetd restart (if it is running this can be done)

Check the inetd.conf file or error messages in /var/log/messages file.

Excuse me for the little information given draft of a L1000 with HP-ux on which after a reboot I can't start inetd.
The server go out with telnet ping ftp from console but I can't telnet in to from other server.
The message in syslog is inetd going down on signal 11
Can you help me
Thanks

Hi,

Hi,
Did you install any security hardening tool.
And also try looking at inetd daemon in ps -ef output as below.

# ps -ef | grep inet
root 1224 1 0 Nov 19 ? 0:03 /usr/sbin/inetd

It might be that inetd is running but it has blocked all incoming services for security reasons. You need to check what options you have chosen in this case.

For stopping and starting inetd daemon in HPUX:

# /sbin/init.d/inetd stop
# /sbin/init.d/inetd start

# /usr/sbin/inetd -c
This make the inetd daemon reread the inetd.conf file.

Hope that helps.

HiI have reinstalled the operating system.
After boot inetd don't work correctly.
inetd -k
inetd -l
inetd -c
the system is ok, but when I do ll command
The output is:Memory fault core dump.
Why ?
I remember that problem was present before in all disk.
The ll -alg works correctly but not ll also tar gives memory fault core dump.
Thank to all

is there a problem with your disk ?

# dd if=/dev/dsk/cxtydz of=/dev/null bs=512k

check for errors.

Is there an exported nfs filesystem ?

is not nfs disk and I have reinstalle the operating system in other disk (new)

Hi,

Did you try making changes (like changing permissions, ownerships etc.,) after you installed the OS?. This is most likely related to issues of missing/incompatible libraries, directory/file permissions etc.,

Unless we know what you did after installing the OS, it may be difficult to find the issue. If the installation went successful, there is no reason why the commands fail to execute. How about "ioscan" command?. Do you see all the devices in there?. Try 'insf -e' and see if there is any luck.

There isn't Failure in installation, I have change the memory but the ll command gives core dump.
In ioscan command there isn't problem.
