Sounds like Mandrake is following the path of Red Hat, which is unsurprising, given that it is a Red Hat knockoff. It seems like they missed an opportunity to improve on Red Hat's upgrade system in this area. Red Hat switched to xinetd, which causes the upgrade to 7.2 to mess up your inetd setup. No effort is made to automatically convert your inetd configuration to xinetd (which is probably just as well). You basically boot up the upgrade system, find that nothing works, then discover that you are now using xinetd, and proceed to build up an xinetd configuration based on your existing inetd configuration. My little pet peeve was that there was no warning about this; nothing that I noticed anyway. It's probably in some release notes document, but who reads those? :) >Please give me some advice to resolve this problem . How about this: please ask Linux setup questions in a Linux setup newsgroup. CVS has no special relationship with xinetd. RTFM about xinetd and set it up. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
