Thanks for that, it's very comprehensive and I appreciate it.
This is my sgi_fam file, it's set to on already.
# default: on
# description: FAM is a file monitoring daemon. It can \
# be used to get reports when files change.
service sgi_fam
{
disable = no
type = RPC UNLISTED
socket_type = stream
user = root
group = nobody
server = /usr/bin/fam
wait = yes
protocol = tcp
rpc_version = 2
rpc_number = 391002
bind = 127.0.0.1
}
I've run "chkconfig --add xinetd" and "chkconfig xinetd" but they both
don't return anything.
Running "chkconfig --list" and the xinetd line at the end returns this:
xinetd based services:
krb5-telnet: off
rsync: off
eklogin: off
gssftp: off
klogin: off
chargen-udp: off
kshell: off
auth: on
chargen: off
daytime-udp: off
daytime: off
echo-udp: off
echo: off
services: off
time: off
time-udp: off
cups-lpd: off
sgi_fam: on
The error still occurs. Is there somewhere else I should be looking as well?
Once again, thank you so much for the help.
