NAME¶
update-inetd - create, remove, enable or disable entry in /etc/inetd.confSYNOPSIS¶
update-inetd [--file FILENAME] [--help] [--version] [--verbose] [--comment-chars CHARACTERS] [--debug] [--group GROUPNAME] --add ENTRYDESCRIPTION¶
update-inetd can be used to add, remove, enable or disable entries in the /etc/inetd.conf file (you can specify a different file by using the --file option). After the /etc/inetd.conf file has been changed, update-inetd will send a SIGHUP signal to the inetd process to make sure that inetd will use the new /etc/inetd.conf file. For Perl scripts you can also use the Perl module DebianNet.pm . See DebianNet(3pm) for further information. update-inetd can also be used to add entries that are commented out by default. They will be treated like normal entries. That also means that if you already have an entry that is commented out you can't add an entry for the same service without removing the old one first.OPTIONS¶
- --version
- Print version information on standard output and exit
successfully.
- --help
- Print a usage message on standard output and exit
successfully.
- --verbose
- Explain what is being done.
- --debug
- Enables debugging mode.
- --file FILENAME
- Use FILENAME instead of /etc/inetd.conf .
- --group GROUPNAME
- Specify that the new entry should be placed in group
GROUPNAME (e.g. ”MAIL"). If the group does not exist the entry
will be placed at the end of the file. The default group is
”OTHER".
- --comment-chars CHARACTERS
- update-inetd uses ”#<off># ” as the
default comment characters. You can use this option to specify different
comment characters. This is only necessary if you have to deal with two
(or more) services of the same name. If you do use this option, it is your
responsibility to eventually remove the commented out entry.
- --pattern PATTERN
- This option can be used to select a service. You only need
this option if you have two (or more) services of the same name.
- --multi
- If you want to disable/remove more than one entry at a time
you should use this option. If you try to remove more than one entry at a
time without using this option the program will show a warning and prompt
the user for an explicit confirmation.
- --add ENTRY
- Add an entry to /etc/inetd.conf . A description of
the ENTRY format can be found in the inetd(8) or inetd.conf(5) manual
pages (or just look at /etc/inetd.conf). In order to prevent the shell
from changing your ENTRY definition you have to quote the ENTRY using
single or double quotes. You can use tabs (the tab character or \t) and
spaces to separate the fields of the ENTRY. To add the ENTRY to a specific
section in the /etc/inetd.conf file please use the --group option
in addition to the --add option.
- --remove SERVICE
- Remove SERVICE (e.g. telnet) from /etc/inetd.conf
- --enable SERVICE
- Enable SERVICE (e.g. ”ftp") in
/etc/inetd.conf . If you want to enable more than one SERVICE you
can use a comma separated list of services (no whitespace characters
allowed).
- --disable SERVICE
- Disable SERVICE (e.g. ”ftp") in /etc/inetd.conf . If you want to disable more than one SERVICE you can use a comma separated list of services (no whitespace characters allowed).
EXAMPLES¶
You've installed ssh (secure encrypting remote shell) and wish to disable its unencrypted cousins:update-inetd --comment-chars '#' --disable login,shell,exec,telnet
update-inetd --comment-chars '#' --disable time,daytime
update-inetd --enable time,daytime
update-inetd --comment-chars '#' --pattern tcp --disable time,daytime
update-inetd --group MAIL --add \ 'pop-3\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait\troot\t/usr/sbin/tcpd\t/usr/sbin/in.pop3d'
