OUCH!! inetd will reread /etc/inetd.conf if you send it a HUP signal: #killall -HUP `pidof inetd` You certainly don't need to reboot the machine :)

Hopefully noone will have to worry about this in future. -Greg Mildenhall( 7~he 7~hought /|ssassin ) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
