That's good, I wonder if in the meantime all platforms can use "service
inetd start"
(except the systemd ones, I guess?)

That has to probably be done per-os... There are only 3 daemons that need
inet/xinet support:

rpc.cmsd - calander manager

rpc.ttdbserver - netowrk-wide host TT access support (potential security
issues)

Only rpc.cmsd should actually be started (assuming it works).  The others
should not unless you know what you are doing and have a good firewall :)

Strange, I remember having issues with non working rpc.ttdbserver but maybe
I am mistaken. The worst was having to clean up rpc registrations by hand.

This is still an issue and I opened a ticket for it a week or so ago (ttsession). Wouldn't surprise me if rpc.ttdbserver has that issue as well. At XiG, we recommended never to run dtspcd or rpc.ttdbserver unless you really had a need to, and we never enabled them by default :)


Do the BSD's have something like the "service" command?

At least FreeBSD says:

HISTORY
      The service utility first appeared in FreeBSD 7.3.

I think OpenBSD does not have it. systemd complains a bit but does the job.


I simply removed the hacky way it was being done (all over the place) a week or 3 ago. This needs to be evaluated in a clean way I suppose, and implemented properly per-os. I don't think Linux uses inetd anymore, it uses xinetd. It seems some systems use systemd.

Sigh.
