However in inetd(8): To specify an ONC RPC-based service, the entry would contain these fields: service name/version socket type rpc/protocol user[:group][/login-class] server program server program arguments notice it has 6 sections (it's missing the wait/nowait). I don't use rpc services, so I don't know which is correct (I'm writing an X utility to go through inetd.conf). Either way a small patch (which I'd be willing to generate) is in order. Could someone enlighten me on which is correct? El hombre mas brillante dijo una vez "Cuidado hay NT". (it's a nerd thing) - alex
