i ended up using the port number, but i tried it before i installed telnetd and it didn't work. without telnetd, the inetd.conf wasn't being read/used so that was the problem. i just think it was odd that inetd.conf was present without the actual inetd daemon being installed (it [openbsd-inetd] was in the telnetd package). there was also an update-inetd script present in the default ubuntu installation, but that one didn't help at all even though i enabled services using, there was no inetd actually running. off topic: i just noticed that xinetd isn't installed by default either and i read that xinetd is a more secure replacement of inetd....interesting. 2008/5/28 Tilo Riemer <triemer at vision-experts.com>: > Hi Nick, > > Am 28.05.2008, 09:44 Uhr, schrieb nick humphrey <nick.c.humphrey at gmail.com>: > >> i figured out what the problem was and have documented it here: >> http://norgesinternettforum.no/showthread.php?p=3062 >> >> to make a long story short: >> sudo apt-get install telnetd >> >> and to restart inetd after making changes to /etc/inetd.conf you just run: >> sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart > > Soundy very strange to me. > telnetd has nothing to do with the cvs server imho. > > I guess your problem was caused by using cvspserver in the inetd.conf.
