Normally you should see inetd listening on that port for you: $ sudo netstat -nlp | grep 9999 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9999 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 883/inetd My guess is that you will not have anything listening there. Maybe you need to restart inetd? Or change your hosts.allow/.deny, see tcpd(8). If tcpd accepts a connection you should see a message in /var/log/daemon.log like this: Aug 6 17:01:40 hostname apt-proxy[29869]: connect from 127.0.0.1 You won't see anything in apt-proxy.log until a connection is sucessfully established and inetd starts apt-proxy. Also, if you have configured firewall rules you may want to check that the connection packet is not being dropped. Chris
