What does init do? What does inetd do?
Answer / kesava reddy
inetd is the server process for the Internet standard ser-
vices. It usually starts up at system boot time.
inetd listens for service requests on the TCP or UDP ports
associated with each of the services listed in the
confi-
guration file. When a request arrives, inetd
executes the
server program associated with the service.
A service can be configured to have "wait" wait-
status, in
which case, inetd waits for the server process
to exit
before starting a second server process. RPC
services can
also be started by inetd.
inetd provides a number of simple Internet services
inter-
nally. These include echo, discard, chargen
(character gen-
erator), daytime (human-readable time), and time
(machine-
readable time, in the form of the number of seconds
since
midnight, January 1, 1900).
