Are you sure? I actually tried it here: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ ps | grep inetd 54 psf 5 N 0:00 /usr/sbin/inetd [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ kill -HUP 54 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ ps | grep inetd 54 psf 5 N 0:00 /usr/sbin/inetd 857 s24 8 N 0:00 grep inetd [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ kill -HUP 54 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ ps | grep inetd 54 psf 5 N 0:00 /usr/sbin/inetd [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ I have Slakware, but I don't think that should make any difference. > George Bonser -- Gonzalo A.
