There was a while ago (2.0?) problem with inetd when a port scanner was run against it. Inetd really should not die without help and neither should anything else. At one time my box had been up for 8 months and nothing ever died. Regards Lyndon Mury wrote: > > My users have been unable to get pop mail, and log in to the shell. I > found that inetd had died.
