But if I start inetd from the command line, rsh works fine. I don't know what the intended behavior is for rsh or inetd, but I don't understand why they work differently when started as a service or started from the command line. Maybe an environment thing? If anyone can point me in the right direction, I think it might help me in my quest to get rsh working with inetd as a service. TIA, Peter Buckley -- Your mouse has moved.
