Hi Folks,
I have pulled my hair out on this issue for a week or so now and wondered
if anyone else knows of any issues regarding this.
I am trying to configure xinetd to use a 3rd party daemon.
The entries are as follows in /etc/xinetd.d/platypusd
service platypusd
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
port = 5124
protocol = tcp
server = /private/platypusd/platypusd
log_on_failure += USERID
}
(please note I know that stating port & protocol should make the lookup to
/etc/services not needed but it still calls...)
Now in /etc/services I create the port & protocol entries:-
platypusd 5124/tcp # Platypus user utility daemon
When I restart xinetd however I get this error:
Oct 19 15:32:25 venus xinetd[7520]: Exiting...
Oct 19 15:32:25 venus xinetd: xinetd shutdown succeeded
Oct 19 15:32:25 venus xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
Oct 19 15:32:25 venus xinetd[13568]: service/protocol combination not in
/etc/services: platypusd/tcp
Oct 19 15:32:26 venus xinetd[13568]: xinetd Version 2.3.12 started with
libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
Oct 19 15:32:26 venus xinetd[13568]: Started working: 4 available services
I have tried every which way I can think of to try and get xinetd to read
the correct lines from /etc/services but it just does not want to jive. I
thought I had a corrupt xinetd but I tried from another FC1 install on a
side server and it did the same thing too! From what little I have played
with xinetd it has always been a walk in the park. Does anyone else have
any idea what might be going on here?
If you could cc me in on replies at: jim-AT-linux-sp.com I would grateful.
Regards,
Jim
