Implementation Differences
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.
