Thanks, i REALLY appreciate the thoughts and the response. Your latter
suggestion makes 100% sense to me, and i hadnt thought of that. As for
the looping errors, i do see them on occasion on /dev/tty8 which is
where i pipe all the syslog stuff to. As for /var/log/messages here are
a few:
Nov 24 17:54:30 ns1 inetd[16835]: getpwnam: root: No such user
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: ftp/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: telnet/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: gopher/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: shell/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: login/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: talk/udp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: ntalk/udp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: pop-2/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: pop-3/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: imap/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: finger/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: time/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: time/udp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: auth/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: penguin/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: nntp/tcp: unknown service
Nov 24 17:54:46 ns1 inetd[262]: linuxconf/tcp: unknown service
And so on, when i try killall -HUP inetd
Thanks for the ideas and assistance....REALLY!!
