Next step: Reduce the number of services listed in the configuration file, then reconfigure the
Internet daemon by running the command inetd -c
.
file
: \ found before end of line
line
file can be either
inetd.conf or inetd.sec
. If a backslash is not immediately followed by
an end of line, it is ignored and the information up to the end of line is accepted. In this case,
the next line of the file is not appended to the end of the current line. Unless all the information
required is present on a single line, configuration file error messages are also output. This mes-
sage is logged at the warning log level.
service/protocol
: Unknown service
The call to the library routine getservbyname
(see getservent(3N)) failed. The service is not
listed in
/etc/services
.
Next step: Include that service in
/etc/services
or eliminate the entry for the service in
/etc/inetd.conf
.
service/protocol
: Server failing (looping), service terminated.
When inetd tries to start 40 servers within 60 seconds for a datagram service, other than
bootp, rpc,ortftp, 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 once again accepts connections for the service.
service/protocol: socket:
message
service/protocol
: listen: message
service/protocol
: getsockname: message
Any one of the three errors above makes the service unusable. For another host to communicate
with the server host through this service, the Internet daemon needs to be reconfigured after
any of these error messages.
service/protocol
: bind: message
If this error occurs, the service is temporarily unusable. After 10 minutes,
inetd tries again to
make the service usable by binding to the Internet socket for the service.
service/protocol
: Access denied to remote_host (address)
The remote host failed to pass the security test for the indicated service. This information can be
useful when trying to determine if someone is repeatedly trying to access your system from a
particular remote system (in other words, trying to break into your system). This message is
logged at the warning log level.
service/protocol: Connection from
remote_host (address)
When connection logging is enabled, this message indicates a successful connection attempt to
the specified service. This message is logged at the notice log level.
service/protocol
: Added service, server executable
Keeps track of the services added when reconfiguring the Internet daemon. This message is
logged at the info log level.
service/protocol
: New list
Lists the new user IDs, servers or executables used for the service when reconfiguring the Inter-
net daemon. This message is logged at the info log level.
service/protocol: Deleted service
Keeps track of the services deleted when reconfiguring the Internet daemon. This message is
logged at the info log level.
Security File (inetd.sec) Errors
The following errors, prefixed by /var/adm/inetd.sec:, are related to the security file inetd.sec :
Field contains other characters in addition to * for service
For example, field 2 of the Internet address 10.5*.8.7 is incorrect.
