I have a number of services in inetd.conf which are not registered by our yp server. My question is are they needed and for what? Services: tcpmux sgi_mountd sgi_fam sgi_toolkitbus rstatd walld sprayd ypupdated Thanks in advance, P.S. If you have a copy of your services file with the port numbers, I would appreciate it if you could mail it to me. -- ---- Mike ( ~~ Radiosity is more than just heat! ) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael K.

(It's quite cute. See RFC 1078 for details, or say "man inetd" on the Iris.) The rest of them are Sun/RPC program numbers, accessed through the portmapper, not through fixed TCP/UDP port numbers ("services"). Look in /etc/rpc on the Iris. Your YP server should have all of the non-SGI ones in any case. However, so you won't have to go looking for them, the SGI ones you mention are: sgi_toolkitbus 391001 sgi_fam 391002 sgi_mountd 391004 mount showmount (For other SGI-proprietary RPC program numbers see /etc/rpc on your Iris.) -Rob ----- Rob Warnock, MS-1L/515 rpw3@sgi.com rpw3@pei.com Silicon Graphics, Inc.
