Note that the grep sometimes returns info on the grep process itself. Look at the extreme right (maximize the window if you have to. ps doesn't check the size of the terminal, and the lines are clipped if the window is too small). At the extreme right is the command. I'm not running inetd on the machine I'm on at the moment, and here's what I got andjoh 31120 0.0 0.2 1544 580 pts/4 S 22:48 0:00 grep inetd Note that this is not inetd, but "grep inetd" It doesn't happen every time. It's a "race condition". Sometimes, grep reads the 'ps' information before the kernel has time to put the 'grep' process in there, sometimes it doesn't. So which command did you get? "/usr/sbin/inetd" or "grep inetd"? Anders On Saturday 15 September 2001 22.46, Ricardo Rodriguez wrote:

Well, there's your problem. try

If that says 'done' and not 'failed', try ps aux|grep inetd again. If it's running now, try telnetting. It should work
(fingers
crossed :), and you can edit /etc/rc.config changing the line START_INETD= to "yes". That will make inetd start automatically on bootup.
And I agree with Ben. If you have to use telnet
from
a machine on the net, make sure you never use an important password,
like
roots, not even with 'su'. Remember that everything you do is
transmitted
in cleartext.

localhost from the server, then I'm afraid I'm out if ideas.
Anyone else have anything?
