Hello Paul, >> we would like to use rsync (2.6.2 manualy patched and recompiled) in daemon >> mode spawned by inetd (Solaris 5.8 Environment). >Hmm, I don't know whether this is supported...

Then I hope that someone reading this list can provide a definite answer :) >What are your reasons for letting inetd accept the connection instead of >having an rsync daemon? Well, first of all, that was the way described in my "Solaris 8 Administrators Guide" book. What is more, only changing two files and restarting inetd was necessary. Moreover, that way, it would be one process less which is running permanently, so I figured, doing it this way might save some system ressources. Finally, there is no need to write any additional shell scripts.
