Message Explanation
/usr/adm/inetd.sec:
Field contains
other characters
in addition to *
for service
The wildcard character (*) is used in
combination with additional integer(s) in one
part of an address field, which is not allowed.
For example, the Internet address 10.5*.8.7
entered in the inetd security file will generate
an error message because the second field
includes a 5 followed by the * character. Either
integers or the wildcard character is allowed in
one part of an address field.
/usr/adm/inetd.sec:
Missing low value
in range for
service
You have used the range indicator (-) in the
wrong way in an entry in the inetd security file.
For example, the second field of the Internet
address 10.-5.8.7 is incorrect because it does
not include both a starting range number (“high
value”) and the ending range number (“low
value”). A correct use of the range indicator in
an Internet address would be 10.8-5.8.7.
/usr/adm/inetd.sec:
Missing high
value in range for
service
You have used the range indicator (-) in the
wrong way in an entry in the inetd security file.
For example, the second field of the Internet
address 10.5-.8.7 is incorrect because it does
not include both a starting range number (“high
value”) and the ending range number (“low
value”). A correct use of the range indicator in
an Internet address would be 10.8-5.8.7.
/usr/adm/inetd.sec:
High value in
range is lower
than low value for
service
You expressed a range of numbers incorrectly in
an entry in the inetd security file. For example,
the second field of the Internet address
10.5-8.8.7 is incorrect because the starting
range number (“high value”) is lower than the
ending range number (“low value”). A correct
use of the range indicator in an Internet address
would be 10.8-5.8.7.
/usr/adm/inetd.sec:
allow/deny field
does not have a
valid entry for
service.
The entry in the second column is not one of the
keywords allow or deny. The inetd server
ignores the entry and does not implement
security for this service unless there is a
subsequent entry in the inetd security file for
this service that is correct.
