/etc/inetd.cnf: Unusable configuration file |
The Internet daemon cannot access its configuration. The error
message preceding this one specifies the reason for the
failure. |
/etc/inetd.conf: line number: nnn error |
There is an error on the line specified by nnn in the
inetd configuration file. The Internet daemon skips this line,
continues reading the rest of the file, and configures itself
accordingly. To solve the problem, open the configuration file, edit the
erroneous line, and save the corrected version. Then, tell
inetd to reread the new version of INTEDCNF by issuing
the inetd.net.sys -c command at the CI prompt. |
system call: |
The system call noted in the error message failed. See the corresponding
entry in the Berkeley Sockets/iX Reference Manual for a
description of the system call. The reason for the failure is explained
in the error message appended to the system call name. |
Cannot configure inetd |
Due to errors in the inetd configuration file, none of the
services it lists could be set up properly. |
Too many services running |
The maximum number of services allowed to access inetd
simultaneously has been exceeded. |
file: found before end of the line |
An entry in a configuration file may need to exceed one line. If so, you
indicate that the line continues by inserting a backslash at the end,
then continue typing data on the next line. If, however, you place a
backslash in the middle of the line, inetd will ignore it and
continue reading to the end of the current line, but will not continue
to the next line. In this case, it is likely that the configuration
information will be misread. |
service/protocol; Unknown service |
The system call getservbyname failed because the service is not
listed in the services file. To solve the problem, you may either add an
entry for the service to the services file or delete the entry for the
service from the inetd configuration file. |
service/protocol: Server failing (looping), service
terminated. |
When inetd tries to start 40 servers within 60 seconds for a
datagram service, it assumes that the server is failing to handle the
connection. To avoid entering a potentially infinite loop,
inetd issues this message, discards the packet requesting the
socket connection, and refuses further connections for this service.
After 10 minutes, inetd tries to reinstate the service and
accept connection requests. |
service/protocol: socket service/protocol:
listen
service/protocol: getsockname |
Any of these three errors renders the service unusable. To make the
service available again, you must issue the inetd -c command to
have inetd reread the configuration file. |
service/protocol: bind: |
Indicates that the service is temporarily unusable because inetd
cannot bind the service to the socket. After 10 minutes, inetd
tries to bind the socket again. If it is successful, then it will listen
for a connection request and provide the appropriate service. If it
fails, it will wait another 10 minutes and try again. |
service/protocol: Access denied to remote host
(address) |
The remote host failed to pass the security test for the service
indicated in the message. If this message appears frequently, it can
indicate that someone is trying to repeatedly access your system, and
failing. |
service/protocol: Connection from remote host (address) |
When connection logging is enabled, this message indicates a successful
connection attempt to the specified service. |
service/protocol: Added service, server
executable |
Records the services that are added when you reconfigure
inetd. |
service/protocol: New |
Lists the new user identifications, new servers, or executable programs
used for the service when reconfiguring inetd. |
service/protocol: Deleted service |
Records the services that are deleted when you reconfigure
inetd.
