From: Ian AT kiwiplan DOT co DOT nz (Ian Collins) Subject: inetd failure 14 May 1998 09:58:12 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: "'Gnu Mailing list'" I am using inetd for starting my application on request. I have an entry in the c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services file as follows, kidd tcp/2326 # My ISAM Database Daemon and an entry in the /usr/local/etc/inetd.conf file as follows, kidd stream tcp nowait root /usr3/ian/kids/kidd kidd The inetd service has been started and for awhile everything works OK. (i.e, the kidd program starts and runs as intended). However, after a few few runs, when I try to connect to the above service I get "Connection Refused". At this point, inetd will not start anything (e.g, telnetd). Starting and stopping the inetd service doesn't help, but rebooting does (ad nauseam). I have not been able to isolate any difference between when the service starts and when all of a sudden it refuses to start. I have also noticed the following entry in the NT event application log. There is one of these entries for each (non internal) service in the inetd.conf file. When I wrote this, I had commented all but the kidd and telnetd services from the inetd.conf. Every time I connect using kidd, the following error is generated in the log, The description for event id ( 0 ) in source ( telnetd ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): telnetd: Win32 Process ID = 0x2D : Cygwin32 Process ID = 0x3F0 : ttloop: peer died: error 0. Any ideas? Ian Collins.
