3. Force inetd to re-read the inetd.conf file.

Simply run the command " inetd -c " at the HP-UX prompt.

Problems?

1. Kill the running bootp daemon on the server by:

a. Find any running instances of bootp with " ps -ef | grep bootp "

b. Kill this instance using " kill -9 <pid> "

2. Verify that the boot file referred to in /etc/bootptab has only read permissions enabled for all ( -r--r--

r-- ).

3. Monitor the bootp debug information printed on the server in the file /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.

4. Monitor traffic on server using the " netstat " command.
