Hi All ,

I have a client an server among which i want to make the server an
inetd process.

I have enries in etc/services and etc/inetd.conf
The enries looks like below
etc/services
servername 5551/tcp
etc/inetd.conf

servername stream tcp nowait root /servername servername

Now if I try to run my client ,inetd will spwan the server but the bind
in the serve is failing synag tht address is already in use

My client code to connect ins ome thng like this
====================================
sd = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); CHK_ERR(sd, "socket");

memset (&sa, '\0', sizeof(sa));
sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr ("127.0.0.1"); /* Server IP */
sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr ("164.164.27.88");
sa.sin_port = htons (5551); /* Server Port number */

err = connect(sd, (struct sockaddr*) &sa,
sizeof(sa)); CHK_ERR(err, "connect");

/* ----------------------------------------------- */
/* Now we have TCP conncetion. Start SSL negotiation. */

ssl = SSL_new (ctx); CHK_NULL(ssl);
SSL_set_fd (ssl, sd);
err = SSL_connect (ssl); CHK_SSL(err);


and my server code is like below
==========================
/* Prepare TCP socket for receiving connections */

listen_sd = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); CHK_ERR(listen_sd,
"socket");

memset (&sa_serv, '\0', sizeof(sa_serv));
sa_serv.sin_family = AF_INET;
sa_serv.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
sa_serv.sin_port = htons (5551); /* Server Port number */

err = bind(listen_sd, (struct sockaddr*) &sa_serv,
sizeof (sa_serv)); CHK_ERR(err, "bind");

/* Receive a TCP connection. */

err = listen (listen_sd, 5); CHK_ERR(err, "listen");

client_len = sizeof(sa_cli);
//Binu
sd = accept (listen_sd, (struct sockaddr*) &sa_cli,(int *)
&client_len);
CHK_ERR(sd, "accept");
close (listen_sd);
printf ("Connection from %lx, port %x\n",
sa_cli.sin_addr.s_addr, sa_cli.sin_port);

/* ----------------------------------------------- */
/* TCP connection is ready. Do server side SSL. */

//binu _
ssl = SSL_new (ctx);                           CHK_NULL(ssl);
SSL_set_fd (ssl, sd);
err = SSL_accept (ssl);                        CHK_SSL(err);




can any one please help me?

Thanks
Binu

If inetd is accepting the connection and handing it off to the
server, is the server even supposed to be trying to bind a socket?
Didn't inetd do that already?

Example:  if you're running Apache from inetd, you need to tell it
it's being invoked from inetd with "ServerType inetd" rather than
"ServerType standalone".

You need to read up on how to write a server that's launched from
'inetd'.
See, for example:

When inetd invokes a server, the socket is automatically connected to
stdin (fd 0) and stdout (fd 1).
