syslog contents message after rebooted

[Kenn Chen]

Mar 4 08:48:50 sin_unix inetd[1078]: protocol = tcp
Mar 4 08:48:50 sin_unix inetd[1078]: /etc/inetd.conf: line 44: Unsupported socket type

[John Payne_2]

What is line 44 of your inetd.conf file? Did you recently edit the file and add a new service for the daemon to run, but it only supports to be udp instead of tcp?

[Scott Van Kalken]

there is something dodgy with your /etc/inetd.conf file.

The message poi9nts to line 44.

try this:

vi /etc/inetd.conf
:set nu


find line 44 and have a look at it.

It would be a type or a whitespace character that's in there and is causing problems.

Hi,

Check what is on line 44:

# head -44 /etc/inetd.conf|tail -1

Hope this helps. Regards.
