Question & Answer

Question

How can I enable inetd logging/tracing?

Answer

For inetd logging/tracing you can use the following steps: 1) Edit the /etc/syslog.conf file and add this line: .debug /tmp/syslog.out 2) Create the syslog out file # touch /tmp/syslog.out 3) Refresh syslogd # refresh -s syslogd 4) Restart inetd in debug mode # stopsrc -s inetd # startsrc -s inetd -a "-d" 5) Generate inetd messages, such as by telneting to the system 6) Check the syslog.out file for inetd messages Once done with debugging, here's how to clean up: 1) Make sure to remove the following entry from the /etc/syslog.conf: .debug /tmp/syslog.out 2) Refresh the syslogd: # refresh -s syslogd 3) Restart inetd normally: # stopsrc -s inetd # startsrc -s inetd
