Hi, I've been having a recurrent problem with inetd freezing. I am at my wits ends with this problem. Here is the setup:-
Basic 1.1 installation, but with networking components upgraded to:- netbase-2.09-1 netstd-2.06-1 (i.e. parts from Debian 1.2). The upgrade has made no difference to the problem. The hardware is fine, and even when inetd is stuffed, I can ping, telnet and FTP out of the machine. The Web Server (Cern) still works (probably because it isn't going through inetd). If I do a "/etc/init.d/netbase stop", a "/etc/init.d/netstd_init stop" and "/etc/init.d/netstd_misc stop", followed by the appropriate "start", then everything springs back into life. The machine is used as an internet gateway to 80-odd Windows PCs, so it is mostly used for Mail and Web browsing. Mail is picked up using qpopper. Any ideas on what I should try next?
