netbase restarts inetd in it's postinst, so there shouldn't be any significant amount of time that inetd's not running. The portmapper is a different matter, but it shouldn't affect telnet. Ah. Your problem is probably telnetd's prerm: ] if command -v update-inetd >/dev/null 2>&1; then ] update-inetd --disable telnet ] fi It might be better to bracket this with an `if [ "$1" != "upgrade" ]', or similar. Herbert, does that sound right? ssh strikes me as much better thing to use for remote updates, though :) Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
