Hi All ,

I have a client an server among which i want to make the server an inetd process.

I have enries in etc/services and etc/inetd.conf
The enries looks like below
etc/services
servername 5551/tcp
etc/inetd.conf

servername stream tcp nowait root /servername servername

Now if I try to run my client ,inetd will spwan the server but the bind in the serve is failing synag tht address is already in use

My client code to connect ins ome thng like this
====================================
sd = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); CHK_ERR(sd, "socket");

memset (&sa, '\0', sizeof(sa));
sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr ("127.0.0.1"); /* Server IP */
sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr ("164.164.27.88");
sa.sin_port = htons (5551); /* Server Port number */

err = connect(sd, (struct sockaddr*) &sa,
sizeof(sa)); CHK_ERR(err, "connect");

/* ----------------------------------------------- */
/* Now we have TCP conncetion. Start SSL negotiation. */

ssl = SSL_new (ctx); CHK_NULL(ssl);
SSL_set_fd (ssl, sd);
err = SSL_connect (ssl); CHK_SSL(err);


and my server code is like below
==========================
/* Prepare TCP socket for receiving connections */

listen_sd = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); CHK_ERR(listen_sd, "socket");

memset (&sa_serv, '\0', sizeof(sa_serv));
sa_serv.sin_family = AF_INET;
sa_serv.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
sa_serv.sin_port = htons (5551); /* Server Port number */

err = bind(listen_sd, (struct sockaddr*) &sa_serv,
sizeof (sa_serv)); CHK_ERR(err, "bind");

/* Receive a TCP connection. */

err = listen (listen_sd, 5); CHK_ERR(err, "listen");

client_len = sizeof(sa_cli);
//Binu
sd = accept (listen_sd, (struct sockaddr*) &sa_cli,(int *) &client_len);
CHK_ERR(sd, "accept");
close (listen_sd);


can any one please help me?

Thanks

You can't listen to a port and also ask inetd to do the listen. It's one or the other. inetd will do the bind, listen, and accept then fork and finally exec your server.

Can you please tell me how I can change my code ..
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi ,

Actually i have removed the bind calls as it is not required .Now the problem is that, I m not sure to which sd i have to do a read and write .

( I m using SSL server.Hence i m using SSL_read ,SSL_write etc )
