It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane,No It’s the Super Daemon

• Inetd

  • Daemon that manages other daemons
  • The daemons it manages must be programmed to be started and managed by inetd
  • Uses /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services as configuration files
  • Simple daemons (echo, discard, etc) are built-into inetd
  • You need to send SIGHUP to inetd after editing /etc/inetd.conf to tell it to reread the file
