I use the service daytime in my private lan with an linux-box as a time server trugh inetd (internal service daytime - port 13) the definition in /etc/services is right and the definition in /etc/inetd.conf too, but with the inetd of inetd-0.16-4.i386.rpm don't work; the same configuration with the inetd of the netkit-base-0.10-37.i386.rpm works fine. I can send my files if you wish. Regards
0.16-4 works for me just fine. The entry should be: daytime stream tcp nowait root internal Make sure you're not mistaking about UDP/TCP. --- [root@lokki /root]# telnet localhost daytime Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. Sat Jul 15 17:16:09 2000 ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. ----
Actually, this is caused by a small bug in inetd. It affects both daytime and time tcp servers. Inetd has been replaced with xinetd in Rawhide so this is kinda moot point, but here's a patch (based on #10786) if you're interested.
