Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services (August 2002)

Internet Daemon

Implementation Differences

The implementation of inetd on the HP e3000 differs from inetd on the HP 9000 in the following ways:

• On the HP e3000, you normally run inetd as a job.

• On the HP e3000, there is no syslogd server. Instead, all error and informational messages about inetd

are automatically written to $STDLIST for inetd. When you run inetd as a job, messages are sent to the

job’s output spool file. Messages which would be logged at the syslogd warning log level on HP-UX are,

on MPE/iX, additionally sent to the console.

/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.
