i have compiled pidentd latest version but i can't get it to autostart
i have compiled pidentd, latest officail version and it has placed the executable in /user/local/bin unfortunately when i try to add a system service the console gives me an error every time i boot. i have it set to identd tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin identd i've also tried the same with /usr/local/sbin ./identd and also tried the same switching the root user to ident user (ident is the username if one of two users on my box, being, root and ident) everytime i boot i get an error message saying unable to start or recognize system service. its driving me nuts. the installation instructions were very unclear on how this was done even the directories didn't match up with SuSE 8.0. any help appreciated thanks

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?
