sco unix 5.0.x, several weeks ago, I add a telnet-like service in inetd.conf, it runs well for 100 network terminals.
But nowdays, the terminals can connect to server successfully after booting machine, but several hours later, can not connect. "netstat -p tcp -a" can NOT find the port in LISTENING state. If I "kill -1 pid-of-inetd" to refresh the inetd process, the port listens again and terminals can connect too. But hours later problem occurs again.
why and how to solve it?
Put the service entry in inetd.conf to begining of file?
