Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services (MPE/iX 6.0)

Chapter 2 43
Internet Daemon
Troubleshooting inetd
Message Explanation
/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.
