Configuring the inetd daemon
Use these steps to configure the TCP/IP inetd daemon.
To configure the inetd daemon:
- Specify which subservers it will be invoked by adding an inetd daemon.
- Specify the restart characteristics by changing the restart characteristics of the inetd daemon.
| Task | SMIT fast path | Command or file |
|---|---|---|
| Starting the inetd Daemon | smit mkinetd | startsrc -s inetd |
| Changing Restart Characteristics of the inetd Daemon | smit chinetd or smit lsinetd | |
| Stopping the inetd Daemon | smit rminetd | stopsrc -s inetd |
| Listing All inetd Subservers | smit inetdconf | |
| Adding an inetd Subserver1 | smit mkinetdconf | edit /etc/inetd.conf then run refresh -s inetd or kill -1 inetdPID2 |
| Change/Show Characteristics of an inetd Subserver | smit inetdconf | edit /etc/inetd.conf then run refresh -s inetd or kill -1 inetdPID2 |
| Removing an inetd Subserver | smit rminetd | edit /etc/inetd.conf then run refresh -s inetd or kill -1 inetdPID2 |
Note:
- Adding an inetd subserver configures the inetd daemon so that it invokes the subserver when it is needed.
- Both the refresh and the kill commands inform the inetd daemon of changes to its configuration file.
