Hi Dan,

You can use /usr/sbin/chsubserver command to add, change or delete entries
from /etc/inetd.conf file (AIX NLY), after making changes, simply refresh
the inetd daemon by typing 'refresh -s inetd' command.

To add an entry to inetd.conf simply enter the following command ( just an
example )

chsubserver -a -r inetd -v ftp -p udp -t stream -w nowait -u root -g
/usr/sbin/ftp ftpd

where -a adds an entry
-r server inetd
-v service name
-p specified protocol
-t socket type
-w if a single threaded service then the vlue is wait, nowait for
multithreaded service
-u user
-g program, specify any command line arguments as well if you wish


Hope this helps.

Regards,

Shahid Chohan

I'd actually prefer to use inetd, but on AIX, does one just
edit /etc/inetd.conf the usual way? I don't want a bunch of services
getting puzzled, and sometimes doing things the usual way causes
problems on AIX.

If you dont want to use inetd you could always define a new service
for the SRC and let that control it.

Hi folks.

How might one go about adding a service to be hung off of inetd on an
AIX system? Do you just edit /etc/inetd.conf like usual, or will things
go kerflooey if I do that like when someone edited our /etc/resolv.conf
the "usual way"?

is there a better daemon to hung such things off of on AIX 5.1?
