I just created a duplicate service in my services file (/etc/services ?) using another port number (i used a different service name for this telnetd). Then i went into inetd.conf and setup up this new services, again duplicating telnetd, except for the service name. Everything worked fine after that. --Ludwig Pummer ----------------------------------------------------------------- ludwigp@sns.com http://chipweb.home.ml.org http://www.sns.com/~ludwigp <--^-- Updated 11/22/96 PGP Key & Geek Code available on web page
