The error you are getting indicates the one machine can not see the other. Are you using an IP address or a machine name. this is an example of an xinet file for cvs I have:
Service cvspserver { port = 2401 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/cvs server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/local/FuseletRepository pserver disable = no } Now for an explanation: port is the port xinetd will listen on for any connections the the cvs server. If it gets a request on this port then it will start the server and pass on anything that it gets socket_type is the type of socket the service expects you will use a stream protocol is the type of packet the service expects, right now there is tcp, udp, and Unix sockets, use tcp wait indicates if xinetd should pause before starting the service, I believe no should go here. User is the user that the service runs as this would be the user that vista runs under, I believe it is vista Server is the command you type at the command line to start the server I do not believe that you need any server_args but it is if there are any command line arguments that you might use for the server The important one is disable = no , I believe if this is blank it defaults to yes so it disables the service To check for connectivity first see if the machine can connect by the ping Command ping <machine name> or ping <IP address> This can be done on a Win machine with the command line. The next step would be to telnet to the machine on the expected server port telnet <IP address or machine name> <port number ( I believe it is 9200)>. This should get a connection, xinetd is running correctly if you do not get connection refused by server. The last part is troubleshooting for client server apps the xinetd is for systems with xinetd. There is also inetd which has a different config file format, this is inetd.conf you would add a line like this. <servername> stream tcp nowait vista <path to command> in the /etc/inetd.conf Thanks Marc Aylesworth C3I Associates AFRL/IFSE Joint Battlespace Infosphere Team 525 Brooks Rd Rome, NY 13441-4505 Tel:315.330.2422 Fax:315.330.7009 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zeno Davatz Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 12:58 PM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] xinetd configuration for OpenVista Server On 8/2/05, Aylesworth Marc A Ctr AFRL/IFSE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The broker service will not show as running until there is a connection. > Xinetd listens for a connection and then starts the appropriate service > (Daemon) to connect to. Sure, but how can I debug the connection from the WindowCPRS GUI to the OpenVista Server? At the moment I just get the windows error: Error encountered Functions: connect Error was: WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL Thanks Zeno ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
