Hi,
I have just been asked to start looking after a new box.
First thing I see when I run dmesg is:
May 15 02:04:58 box inetd[29061]: [ID 161378 daemon.error] exec/tcp:
bind: Address already in use
May 15 02:04:58 box inetd[29061]: [ID 161378 daemon.error] shell/tcp:
bind: Address already in use
May 15 02:14:58 box inetd[29061]: [ID 161378 daemon.error] exec/tcp:
bind: Address already in use
May 15 02:14:58 box inetd[29061]: [ID 161378 daemon.error] shell/tcp:
bind: Address already in use
(repeated many times, with 10 minute intervals).
/var/adm/messages is similarly flooded.
How do I stop the flood? A quick look in /etc/inetd.conf on that box
shows...
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rshd in.rshd
shell stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rshd in.rshd
login stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rlogind in.rlogind
exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rexecd in.rexecd
exec stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rexecd in.rexecd
comsat dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.comsat in.comsat
...so my suspicion is that the duplicate lines for shell and exec are
the cause. The comment at the top of the file says that this is
necessary, however.
Any ideas?
Regards
Kieran
