Hi,
On some of the machine where I have FreeBSD 5.4, /etc/inetd.conf becomes a
blank file soon after reboot.
I have kept a copy of the file and when the service fails after reboot I
restore the backup and restart the inetd service.
What I need to check, to solve this issue. How can this be solved
permanently ? Please also let me know the logs which I can check to find the
exact issue.
I'm afraid that the most likely cause is something *you* did. Nothing
in the system would deliberately remove that file, and if it is
happening because of some misconfiguration then nothing would appear in
a log file.
Two things to try:
1) Find references in /etc and /usr/local/etc to inetd.conf. These
are the likely places to find the problem.
find /etc /usr/local/etc -type f -exec egrep -H inetd {} \;
2) Compare /etc and /usr/local/etc on the failing machines with the
ones on good machines.
Changing the flags on /etc/inetd.conf to prevent it being blanked should
work around the symptoms, but not the cause. This should work:
chflags schg /etc./inetd.conf
But if you run in secure mode you'll need to go down to single-user to
get rid of the flag, and you can't edit inetd.conf with the flag in place.
