Hi everyone,
Well, not much of a response to my message about SATAN causing inetd to hang
etc. One suggestion was related to Sol 2.4 - I should have stated that we're
running 2.5. Another suggestion was to rename SATAN to SANTA! Well, for the
sake of completeness we tried it, and it didnt help.
The real answer came with some help from the SATAN/SANTA people themselves.
In /etc/inetd.conf there is an entry for the Font Server like so:
fs stream tcp wait nobody /usr/openwin/lib/fs.auto fs
fs.auto doesnt exist, and when SATAN probed it, it caused inetd to keel over.
The answer was to comment out this line from inetd.conf.
