The error message in > /var/log/messages is "inetd[368]: shell/tcp server failing(looping), > service terminated". The solution was to increase the limit for inetd in /etc/inetd.conf. For example: shell stream tcp nowait.120 root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rshd Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scott L.
