Thanks, to those that answered my previous question.. I have another question... the reason I wanted to restart inetd is because I am trying to get telnetd and ftpd working. I added the following entries to inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd restarted inetd: kill -HUP <inetd pid> then tried to do: telnet localhost which resulted in: "Connection close by foreign host." ftp localhost resulted in: "421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection" Any ideas why this is not working? Thanks again for your help, Aaron
