restart inetd process

Here it is-

So far everything is good, you just wanna re-start inetd...

In Linux, you could use the service comand, but normally, all you need to do is "ps -ef | grep inet", now get the PID of the inetd proc, take that and send it a "kill -SIGUSR1" (see your kill manpage for a better idea of what signal to send), this will force the inetd process to re-scan it's conf file.


As I said, READ the kill man page BEFORE doing this, make sure you get the right signal, otherwise, you may kill inetd completely, and not be able to telnet (or anything) in to restart it. Another good idea is to be at the console if you are re-configging network stuff, just for safety's sake.



Later,
