CONSTANT inetd Errors
|
|
| Ryan Funduk 2004-04-20, 1:37 pm |
| So I installed OpenBSD a week ago because I have a crappy little
233mmx/64mb/4gb pc just lying around...
Anyways, it all worked great until I decided I wanted to telnet into the box
from work. So I read a little about inetd in the manpages / online / etc and
edit configs and all looks well... telnet even works! (slow, but what do I
really expect?  )
Since then I've been getting really strange screen dumps of error messages
which, I believe, are being caused by inetd running either a) more than once
(which I don't see how it could be because I've definitely played around a
lot) or b) something about ports and trying to use a port that's already
open...
I've searched for the error online and found lots of people with the same
problem but they always had done something specific (or were trying to do
something specific) when it happened and it's just doing this all the time
just because I uncommented the 'telnetd' line...
Anyways, here's the error list that dumps to my screen every 12 minutes or
so. Maybe a guru or somethin will pop-up and save me

too. I re-wrote the message, it's called CONSTANT inetd Error Messages...
this one is the one that outlook crashed on me while I was writing it...
Sorry :\

I've noticed here in this message, there is a inetd (PID 22239) and it's
complaining about ident... a utility that defines what user is connecting
<FROM> that machine. see the internet about ident protocol
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/cgi-bin/r...file_format=txt)
Your telnet activation has nothing to do with ident, although I know that
ident is enabled by default on modern/recent OpenBSD installs. First thing
I would do, is disable (comment out) all lines in /etc/inetd.conf and
reboot.
If the errors still come up, inetd is screwing up. if it dissapears, look
for identical lines in /etc/inetd.conf
That's first-impression ideas of why it's happening.
Enjoy, Good Luck.
