Hmm.... you're right. I was thinking I'd seen that in the
inetd.conf. I was wrong. I looked at it again and realized
you were correct.
Now, I *do* have one question. Something called "swat" was
added to my inetd.conf awhile back (shortly after
installing RedHat) but I have, of course, commented it out.
Any idea what that is? If it's something I need, I'll
re-enable it. However, after running RH6.2 for awhile now,
I haven't seen anything complaining about not getting
"swat." :-)
