OK, let's troubleshut the problem step by step. I need to find out first where the problem is, in init, initscripts or xinetd. I suspect when you run init-config you answered "yes" to overwrite an existing /etc/inittab installed by initscripts package. What are the last three lines of /etc/inittab? They should be like:
# Run xdm in runlevel 5 # xdm is now a separate service #x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon If (you inittab is different) please reinstall initscripts package. else post the printout of "ls -l /etc/inittab /etc/rc.d /etc/rc.d/init.d" Sergey Okhapkin Somerset, NJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Dobrin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Sergey Okhapkin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 9:35 PM Subject: Re: xinetd/ init not working for me > no, > the only 3 messages are: > > entering runlevel 3 > no more processes left at this runlevel > `init` service started > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sergey Okhapkin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Bruce Dobrin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 6:23 PM > Subject: Re: xinetd/ init not working for me > > > > Are there any errors in NT application error log on init startup? > > > > Sergey Okhapkin > > Somerset, NJ > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Bruce Dobrin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 9:10 PM > > Subject: xinetd/ init not working for me > > > > > > > I just upgraded to 1.3.18 and noticed a version of init and xinetd.
