Shared Services

Inetd Configuration service

The Inetd service enables, disables and configures the Inetd daemons used by Exceed and NFS Maestro. These daemons respond to particular service requests. The status of each service is indicated in the Inetd Service pane. If the Status column is blank, the daemon is disabled. If the word Enabled appears, the daemon is running and available for service.

You can add and delete services, and modify the configuration parameters for current services. Refer to the Exceed and NFS Maestro manual and online help for details about Inetd.

The procedures for using the Inetd service are identical to those used when directly accessing the Inetd application. Refer to the Exceed or NFS Maestro manual and Inetd online help for details about configuring Inetd.

  1. Select the appropriate daemon.
  2. On the toolbar, click Enable/Disable.
