inted problem - cannot start any servers

[Andy Dzimira_1]

Hello all,

I'm getting the following message on my HP9000 server:
inetd[951] problem with /var/adm/inetd.sec: cannot start any servers.

I'm running HPUX 11i.
Is there a kernal setting that I need to increase to make this go away?

Thanks....Any info is appreciated!

Have you chec /var/adm/inetd.sec since that is where the error message is pointing? Are permissions on the file OK? Any errors with the contents of the file?

[Andy Dzimira_1]

yes. The file looks normal. It only has read access but that's how my other server is set up.

Hi,

Have you edited the file on Window$ ? - Maybe you have control codes in the file? I'd move it out of the way, then restart: inetd -c and see if any of the services are listening (netstat -a) if they are, the .sec is still your problem and probably corrupt / bad!

Good luck!

If still with the problem,
cp /var/adm/inetd.sec /var/adm/inetd.sec.bad
cat > /var/adm/inetd.sec <dtspc allow 127.0.0.1 loopback
EOF

and if OK with that, add lines copied/pasted from old one.
