Issue the ps command to check for the Internet daemon. To see if the inetd

daemon is active on the server node, log on to the server node and execute the

following:

ps -ef grep inetd

1D2.

The ps command lists only the grep process for inetd? If the grep message

is the only response, inetd is not active. If this is true, continue with 1D3.

1D3.

Start the Internet daemon. To start inetd, execute the following as superuser:

/usr/sbin/inetd

Alternatively, if you want to start connection logging, run the following

command:

/usr/sbin/inetd -l

The /sbin/init.d/inetd shell script usually starts inetd at boot time.

1D4.

Go to 1B. After inetd is running, repeat this flowchart beginning with 1B.

1E. Correct the files. If there was an incorrect entry or no entry in the

/etc/inetd.conf or /etc/services files, enter the correct information

and continue with 1D1.
