Re: BSD inet services?
I wonder what you'd find if you looked in your current /etc/inetd.conf?
What you describe is what i expected to do except my inetd.conf _has_ no
lines
for that stuff anymore. It's been removed. All that's there is the
#:BSD: line
i mentioned. I know this #: notation allows the line to be uncommented
by a
tool automatically so i was thinking that maybe there's another file
that
provides the BSD-specific services. I couldn't find anything like that,
though.
