You did reboot if you only made changes to rc.conf.local, right? If you do, % ps aux | grep inetd What do you get? It should have the flags that you indicated. > Neither are pings and alike. syslogd and inetd are running. I believe inetd will only log connection attempts for ports on which it is listening. Since it is only listening for TCP and UDP connections, ICMP, like ping, will never be seen by inetd. > What's missing? What does your syslog.conf look like? inetd uses the 'daemon' facility when generating messages. In the default syslog.conf, you will get 'notice' and above messages to /var/log/messages. A _very_ quick glance at the source makes me think the logging of connections occurs at the 'info' level. You will need to modify syslog.conf. -- Crist J.
