Re #51:
If you ever actually use a script like this, you need to put a sleep command
in the body of the loop, or it will consume pretty significant amounts of
CPU. Often a fairly long sleep interval, like 5 minutes, is appropriate.
i.e., something like:
while :
do
while ps -x | grep -q inetd
do
sleep 300
done
inetd
done
I have a script on my FreeBSD box that follows a similar pattern, to monitor
my DSL connection and re-establish it if it goes down. FreeBSD's ppp
software has an auto-redial function, but it doesn't work on
PPP-over-Ethernet connections because they lack a real carrier detect
signal. Hence the script file kludge.

Can that be made more intelligent? That is, if it discovers "down"
reestablish connection and sleep for a minute. On the next loop thru,
same thing. Then as connect time gets longer, change the sleep from
5 minutes to 30 minutes.

I don't think that would make any difference. There's no pattern to inetd
dying.

I thought there was a option to make inetd run in the foreground.
The man page lists a -d option, but does not state what it does.

In scott's immortal phrase: inetd seems to have its little feet up
in the air again.
Also, when I come in via ssh and run "mail," I get told there
is no mail for me, when there are a few hundred messages there.

Very odd-- right now Grex is refusing telnet connections but Backtalk
seems fine.

Not that odd. Telnet uses inetd but Backtalk uses httpd.

ssh also avoids inetd.

BTW, it looks like someone picked up inetd, dusted it off, and sent it on its
way, some 47 minutes ago now.

(Should I be concerned if I log in and it says "2 failures since..." and
it wasn't me?) This happens from time to time, and I ask this q, and no
one ever answers it.

Maybe it's different people trying to crate an account and typing in "katie"
instead of whatever it is you'r supposed to do to create a new account. Some
systems create new accounts by you just entering a login id, and the system
checking to see if it's in use.
Either that, or somebody who's katie on another bbs and keeps forgetting that
she's not katie here.
Or it COULD be somebody trying to hack your system. ;}

Katie, try:
last -10 katie
That should show the last 10 times someone successfully logged in as you.
If the connections are all ones you remember making, you should be fine.

Yeah. once in a while when I am trying to log in, I forget and log in as
sfremont or lynne (so if lynne ever sees failures, they are probably
from me). I think someone named katie who might have 'katie' as a
loginid somewhere else is just forgetting and trying to login as katie.

I'm more worried about someone trying to log in as me and do nefarious
fairwitness (say that fast 5 times!) things.

If the hypothetical bad guy was sniffing your password on the network,
looking over your shoulder, etc. he'd be into your account by now. (But
that's no reason to get careless about those things.) So we'll presume
that he's trying to guess your password. You aren't using a password
that he might find in the _21st Century Master Hacker's Guide to Popular
Passwords (Unabridged)_, are you?

If it's not more than one or two tries, occasionally, then I'd assume that
someone named Katie is forgetting where she is. I do that to dave (whoever
that actually is) from time to time.

Dialing in on -3000, I got the modem with defective flow control.
4K into a 17K file, it overflowed the modem buffer and disconnected me.
