Use 'lsof' to verify that the program you think is listening to those ports, is the program listening to those ports. If you modified your inetd.conf so that inetd was listening to those ports but didn't have a valid program to run, that would cause this problem. Inetd would probably be listening to the ports rather than tcpserver because it runs earlier. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
