Hello,
When my system starts up, the boot display shows Starting inetd: ---------------------> failed.
How do I know, why it is failing. In other words, is there any log I can go after to get detailed information.
Any help is appreciated.

The system log should help: /var/log/messages
It's going to be very large. You might want to try: "grep inetd /var/log/messages". That'll just show messages related to inetd.

One way to find out is by running the scrip manually as root. But first copy the original to a different name: cp /etc/rc.d/inetd /etc/rc.d/inetd.test Then edit /etc/rc.d/inetd.test and change start) echo -n "Starting INET services (inetd)" startproc /usr/sbin/inetd || return=$rc_failed echo -e "$return" to start) echo -n "Starting INET services (inetd)" startproc /usr/sbin/inetd # echo -e "$return" then run it as root from the shell prompt: "/etc/rc.d/inetd.test start" and any error generated will not be suppressed, but shown on the screen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns@csd.net
