error when initializing my inetd.conf

[Nick D'Angelo]

We recently moved our server to a new subnet and Ip address ie from 10.10 to 10.12 and all the users are merrily working via telnet no problem. However, the Samba NFS does not appear on my network neighbourhood and also I get this error when re-starting the inetd.conf file.

Rereading configuration
Nov 19 12:39:23 istatprd inetd[10380]: /etc/inetd.conf: line 42: Unsupported socket type
Nov 19 12:39:23 istatprd inetd[10380]: rlogin/tcp: Unknown service
Nov 19 12:39:23 istatprd inetd[10380]: instl_boots/udp: Added service, server /opt/ignite/lbin/instl_bootd

Any ideas?

HPUX 10.20

Hello,

Check out line 42 in your inetd.conf file (:42).

Most likely it is because you commented out the tftp entry, but did not comment out the 2 lines below it:

#tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd\
# /opt/ignite\
# /var/opt/ignite
They all have to be commented.

As for your rlogin, You have login uncommented in inetd.conf, but it is commented out in /etc/services. Either comment out the inetd.conf entry or uncomment the /etc/services entry.

After making the changes:

# inetd -c

Hope this helps
