I run a Fundamentals of Linux class which is using RH7.3. I was teaching the installation and configuration of Samba last night and encountered a problem on some machines when the students restarted their super daemon 'xinetd'. This only occurs on a couple of machines and before I begin digging deeper, I was wondering if you could point in the direction of some troubleshooting resources or what you might suspect is the problem. After installing Samba including the samba-swat package, I have each adminstrator change the disable key in /etc/xinetd.d/swat file to 'disable = no'. They must then restart the xinetd daemon to make these changes take effect. Well, it doesn't on a couple of machines. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Art
Oddly - xinetd doesn't appreciate malformed config entries - double-check all xinetd configs - perhaps diff them against a different machine and see what's different. I remember with a recent upgrade of xinetd, the new version no longer appreciated a method of logging I had chosen. Changing some punctuation in the statement solved the problem. Might be something to go on...
And of course, are there any log entries in /var/log/messages?
