Maybe you just don't understand what you are seeing. Inetd is the Super server. Every thing you uncomment in the inetd.conf file is an server of it own right. But instead of an daemon running for telnet or FTP all the time. Inetd runs and listens on the ports where those services would be listings and when inetd sees an request on the specified port it automatically launches the server for that service. With inetd running , ps ax only shows inetd running, but start an telnet session to your box and you will see that inetd has spawned an telnet server session. When your telnet users leaves the session, the telnet server terminates. Inetd is used to conserve resources. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Micke P Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2004 1:35 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: starting daemons at server start Hi, There are a couple of things that I'm struggling with unsuccessfully. :-( One of them is figuring out how to get daemons to start up when the server starts, or restarts, without having to start them manually. It may be clearly defined in the handbook, but I am inept enough to not see it. This is a configuration in the inetd? Thanks, Micke __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
