inetd logging enable

[Victor_5]

I want to enable inetd logging by adding the -l argument to the "INETD_ARGS" environment variable in the /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons. After that, do I need to restart the inetd daemon or reread the configuration file?

Thanks.

In order for a command line argument to be processed, a command must be re-executed. A simple inetd -c won't do the trick.

This will be activated from your next reboot. You can start logging now by giving the following command
# inetd -l

Victor,

You'll have to restart daemon as I believe that file is only read @ startup.

Hi Victor:

/etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons will be accessed when you stop and start the inetd daemon ( or during boot). It takes the command arguments from this file. If you edit this, you have to stop and start the inetd services.

The actual inetd configuration file is /etc/inetd.conf. If you make some changes to this, then 'inetd -c' will do the trick.

HTH,
