Hello,
Not sure why, but inetd on one of the HP server went down with he below message.

Feb 12 13:10:10 hostname inetd[1272]: Going down on signal 15

after restrating the inetd telnet logins working fine , but the ssh gats port 22 connection refused.
thanks in advance.

SSH, at least by default does not use inetd, so it shouldn't have been affected.

You might need to stop and restart ssh.

If you are using HP's SSH bundle:
# /sbin/init.d/secsh stop
# /sbin/init.d/secsh start

OK. Thanks.
What could be the known reasons ....for inetd going down...
Atleast in my experience i have never seen an inetd itself going down when the system is up and running.
Thanks

hi,

restarting inetd doesn't affect ssh since ssh is a third party utility. u need to restart the ssh daemon as suggested .

Signal 15 is the default for the kill command. The OS would not send a kill 15 to inetd so someone with root capability probably mistyped the PID number and killed inetd by mistake.

SSH is third party tool, so will not have any effect on it.please restart SSH.
