I do not want it to go down if at all possible. I am enabling certain services one by one. In order to re-read inetd.conf, is it appropriate to kill -1 (inetd process number)? Will it cause a reboot? Are there any security issues in enabling talkd? Thanks -- John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
