I know quite a few daemons/servers are no longer started up by inetd, is there any logic to whether they are started this way or not?
Further to this (and more importantly) how does one work out how an IP service is started if it's not in inetd.conf?
In particular I can't see what starts the IMAP4 services but they most definitely do start. There's an 'imap2' entry in inetd.conf but not an 'imap4' one, is this the one that starts an connection on port 143? Chris, I'm using cyrus imap from CMU - it's is not longer supported by inetd. It is started (on SuSE 9.2) in /etc/init.d, where there is a script named cyrus. This is sym linked to start and kill scripts in the relevant runlevel subdirectories (rc5.d etc).
