Exactly where did you put this? It looks like a malformed line from inetd.conf, but edits in that shouldn't give you errors when you boot. In any case, inetd is usually started as a standalone daemon. If you install the inetd rpm you can look at the init.d script. It should be enough to edit that and change IDENTD_BIN=/usr/sbin/in.identd to IDENTD_BIN=/usr/local/sbin/in.identd if you want to start identd from inetd the line should look something like this identd stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/in.identd -i in.identd is the default name of the executable. If your compilation named it something else, change it accordingly. regards Anders -- I swear I do declare - how did you get that there?
