One caveat listed in their documentation is the problem of restarting inetd. They claim that restarting inetd (or a kill -HUP) will cause the socket to hang, and become unusable. I have seen this problem with amanda, but *only* with amanda. All other inetd clients behave in a more 'sociable' manner. Is there something special that a inetd client needs to do to ensure that they properly release the socket when inetd is killed or re-hupped? Here's the inetd.conf entry for amanda... amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad Thanks, Joe -- Joe McGuckin ViaNet Communications 994 San Antonio Road Palo Alto, CA 94303 Phone: 650-969-2203 Cell: 650-207-0372 Fax: 650-969-2124 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
