Hi, I created the file /etc/inetd.conf with just 2 following lines ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd and when I gave killall -HUP inetd, the system output was inetd: no process killed So, I restarted the system, just in case. It still doesn't work. Sundar On Tue, 22 Feb 1994 21:47:08 +0700, tjones@inficad.com wrote: > You need one.
