Re: [SLE] portmap used by inetd?

* Praise (praisetazio@tiscalinet.it) [020430 15:50]:

I am using the runlevel editor in Suse 8.0. I was disabling unneeded services so I tried to disable portmap as I always did before. THis time yast2 comes up and shouts that portmap is necessary to inetd? Is it true? Why now it is needed and before it was not?

I can think of wierd cases were it might be (pop-before-relay using dracd and a pop daemon run inetd).

Is it a bug?

I don't think so but it's a little strange. -- -ckm
