I just picked up the netout package from jade.berkeley.edu and found out
that it did not work with Suns. (The netout package sends lots of 10K
packets over the ethernet to a remote host which discards them using the
discard built into inetd.c) The reason was simply that the line:
discard stream tcp nowait root internal
was not in /etc/inetd.conf (but the udp line was in there, the support was
in the inetd.c, and when you added the line, everything worked).
Now I certainly wouldn't suggest that Sun would ever do anything like this
for no good reason (:-) so I was wondering if anyone knew why Sun might have
done this.

All of the internal services are included in /etc/inetd.conf in SunOS 4.1.

You did not answer the original question.

If the original question was, as I remember it to be, "is there any reason they're not included there in 4.0", the 4.0 "inetd" is basically the 4.3BSD one with RPC support and some file descriptor throttling, so the answer is "the only reason they're not there is that somebody" - possibly me - "forgot to put them there".
