similar to: xinetd, what's the trick?

Staging for a rollout of EL 6, and ran into a very strange permissions issue with xinetd that defies all (my) logic. It's a script called "spfiled" that we use for messaging between our server cluster servers. I'm trying to get it to run with "least permissions necessary". Because it reads/writes files in conjunction with a web-based service, it runs as user

Hello Guys, First off let me say thanks for your efforts on Samba. Next I have a problem, I dled the samba 2.2.2 tarball and installed it and now I am at the configuration stage. It says I have to add two lines netbios-ssn lines to the inetd.conf file. Well, unfortunately there is no inetd.conf. However there is an xinetd.conf file is that the same thing and if so, what and where do I

Hello All Samba-list Members, I have installed a Samba 2.2.7, the samba-latest.tar.gz, as a PDC on a Redhat8.0 GNU/Linux server. ( Of course, I first uninstalled the original samba that came with the Redhat installation CDs by rpm -e samba*.) The installation was successful. Then I modified /etc/services and /etc/xinetd.d/swat as suggested in the installation document uncompressed from

Samba not responding to broadcast calls from networked PCs. Short: My Redhat Linux 8.0 box is not replying to udp broadcasts, and I can't figure out why.

Hitting a big mystery here. I've configured samba properly but I would like to run swat. The /etc/xinetd.d/swat file contains: service swat { disable = no port = 901 socket_type = stream wait = no only_from = 127.0.0.1 user = root server = /usr/sbin/swat log_on_failure +=

Hello dovecot, Help me running imapd & pop3d server on xinetd. My file: # cat /etc/xinetd.d/pop-3 service pop3 { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login } ####################################### # cat /etc/xinetd.d/imap service imap {

Hello, I am not able to access SWAT from any other host besides the one running the SWAT daemon. No firewall blocking access on either side. # netstat -lnt | grep 901 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN works fine connecting from localhost using: lynx localhost:901 Unavailable using public IP on a remote host.. i.e. going into Firefox and

I'm trying to set up xinetd to run an asterisk console on a tcp port. So far I've added a file in /etc/xinetd.d/ like: service actl { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp port = 1234 wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/asterisk

Hi, I'm having a minor issue with swat on red hat 7.2. It won't let me make any changes to the samba server (adding shares, printers, and global definitions). The buttons to access these simply don't exist. I can view status, but I can't make any changes (not even restart the daemons). This works fine on my Debian system. The only real difference that I can think of is inetd

Good day, Just a quick question- could someone please confirm that this is the correct xinetd configuration (or not) for hpa-tftp? We've noticed that, when under moderate load hpa-tftpd resides in memory, even after there are no connections or even if xinetd is shut down. Under light load the server goes away after each connection, as desired. Thanks in advance! service tftp {

Hello all, I'm hoping you can help out with an issue I'm having running dovecot-beta8 on Solaris 9 (SPARC). The reason I need to run them from xinetd is that we require the filtering ability that tcp_wrappers provide. My issue is that, when running both from xinetd, IMAP runs fine, but then, when you try to POP in to check mail on the same box, it seems that the login section is

Is this the best way to get dovecot's pop3 process to run under xinetd? This is what I did after I installed postfix and dovecot. I am using Debian. I am using the dovecot local delivery agent. ---------first the dovecot configuration and version information------------------ dovecot -n output: # /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 pop3s

Ok, I should be able to start swat with xinetd, but I can't seem to get anything to start. 1. How do I tell if swat is running (other than trying to browse to aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:901) 2. Can someone give me an idea of what and where I need commands for xinetd. Server is RH7.2, Samba 2.2.3a, following file "swat" is in /etc/xinetd.d/ ## /etc/xinetd.d/swat service swat { port

Hi all Does anyone have a config file for stunnel, to work with /etc/xinetd.d? Stunnel's man page does mention it can work with xinetd, but there's no sample configuration for it. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

Hi all, I can't believe that I can't find the answer to this one. I have a perl script which is called by xinetd. I want that perl script to be able to detect the remote IP address of the caller. I presumed that it would be an environment variable but I could be wrong. I've found reference to the ENV and PASSENV arguments for xinetd.conf but no examples, and no indication of what

Hi everyone, In the last few days I've spended hours and hours on the web surching for a solution to my problems. Eventhough it looked like there where several other people having the same problem I couldn't find a way to solve it. Therefore I'm hoping that one of you could help me with the following problem. I've installed Samba 3.0.14a on RedHat 9.0. Samba is working perfectly.

Hey folks, When I run rsyncd from xinetd and try to rsync I will get permission denied error: rsync: chdir /home/test failed : Permission denied (13) If I shutdown xinetd and start standalone daemon ( rsync --daemon --config /etc/rsyncd.conf) everything works as expected. This is my xinetd config for rsync: service rsync { disable = no socket_type = stream wait

Hello all: Here's the problem [on a RH7 running kernel 2.2.17-14 with Samba 2.0.7-21ssl and xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14]: http://localhost:901 does bring up the SWAT login dialog box.. but upon entering root as the user, followed by my root passwd in the next entry... it tells me "Authentication failed. Retry?" I can tell you that I did enter the correct root passwd, because I am root

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a TFTP server to serve as repository for the config of all my Cisco network devices. As per the the tftpd man, I've added the "-c" option into the /etc/ xinetd.d/tftp (as follows) but I still cannot get write access (unless the file is already present). [root at chl1 ~]# cd /etc/xinetd.d [root at chl1 xinetd.d]# cat tftp # default: off #

Hello, I am trying to monitor a host in the Amazon EC2 cloud. Yet when I try to check NRPE from the monitoring host I am getting an SSL handshake error: [root at monitor1:~] #/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H ops.jokefire.com CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.
