Will inetd service restart affect cluster?

[Jayasuntar]

Hi all,

We need to disable some of the service in the inetd.conf. We have Mc SG running on the servers. Will restart of inetd service bring down cluster or packages?

Thanks in advance

AFAIK restarting inetd will not bring down the cluster but since serviguard manager uses the auth service under the inetd you will not be able to view cluster status when the inetd is down.

Hi Jay,

You can remove service from inetd.conf without losing service.
But not the one you need to log in are that is used voor applications such as serviceguard. After that refresh the inetd.conf rather then restart.
use the command with inetd -c.
Also you can restrict the services in /var/adm/ined.sec

You do not need to restart the inetd to disable services.

Just type

inetd -c to Reconfigure the Internet daemon; in other words, force the current inetd to reread /etc/inetd.conf (excerpt from the man)

Hi Jay,
It will definitely affect the workig of the cluster though not for a long time but mometarily atleast.
But you can get rid of this by "inetd -c" as already suggested above.

Make all required changes in /etc/inetd.conf and just do "/sbin/inetd -c".

It should help.
