SSHD startup using inetd.conf

[Dinesh S Devan]

Could someone tell me how I can start sshd from inetd.conf.

[RAC_1 · Accepted solution]

sshd from inetd must user -i option. you need to have following line in inetd.conf file.

ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i

In /etc/services file.

ssh 22/tcp #ssh port

You can use any post you want. Make sure you have start up scripts in respective rc directories.

Yes. Check /etc/services file for ssh service with 22 port number.

In /etc/inetd.conf

ssh stream tcp nowait root //sshd sshd -i

save it.

Reconfigure inetd daemon as,

# inetd -c

Check for sshd startup script availablity in /sbin/init.d/ directory.

hth.

Thank you very much for the help. I was trying without the -i option.
