The Internet daemon inetd is the master server (sometimes
called a "superserver") for the Internet Services. When it is running,
inetd listens for connection requests for the services listed in its
configuration file and, in response to such requests, starts the appropriate
server. You, as system manager, determine which Internet Services are
available to your users by editing the inetd configuration file.
This chapter explains:
- How inetd behaves with
stream services and with
datagram services.
- How to edit the inetd configuration file so that it listens for
connection requests from the specific Internet Services you want to use
on your system.
- How to edit the optional security file for inetd which lets you
control access to the Internet Services.
- How to use inetd logging capabilities to monitor and
troubleshoot Internet Services.
- How to start and stop inetd.
- How to troubleshoot common problems that can occur with
inetd.
- The implementation differences between inetd for MPE/iX and
HP-UX.
