inetd

[Randy]

Hi all,

After a fresh install of debian according to the howt, I wanted to install ispconfig again. The installation stopped with the following messages:
comp1:/home/admin/install_ispconfig# /etc/init.d/inittab
bash: /etc/init.d/inittab: No such file or directory
comp1:/home/admin/install_ispconfig# /etc/init.d/xinitrc
bash: /etc/init.d/xinitrc: No such file or directory
I have inittab in /etc ... I have noticed that on a clean install I that openbsd-inetd or inetutils-inetd gets installed. With none of these I can do a inetd reload, as described in the howto's. I don't have an inetd in the /etc/init.d dir. Can anyone advise me how to solve this or how to force apt-get to install inetd? (Because it always advises to install inetutils-inetd.
Many thanx
Randy

To which howto do you refer?

The Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge (3.1)

The command =
/etc/init.d/inetd reload (page3)

I resolved it by creating symlinks. I thought that it couldn't do any harm. Anyway it worked after that.
But still strange that the normal inetd doesn't get installed anymore. Is there a reason for replacing it with one of the other afore mentioned as far as you know? Just curious.

Did you somehow delete some files, or did you put testing or unstable repositories into /etc/apt/sources.list and tried to update some packages? Your problems could be caused by something like this.

[Randy]

Nop,
when I noticed this, I specifically left the original sources.list as it was. I use the repositorie from debian.nl .

Can you please post the content of your sources.list file.

[Randy]

Original contents. Am I the onlyone who noticed this? Strange.

#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable main

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

Looks ok. But maybe you can try to install again with different mirrors?

[Randy]

I've already done that with the repositories from .de .. Same thing happens. Noticed in the post from sajo in this forum that I'm not the only who noticed this anymore.

Greetings

The thing is that of this is an official change from debian that you might have to update some of your howto's.....(or a lot of them)..Otherwise you might get swamped with e-mails... So if you ever had issues with filling your free time....;-)

That problem is unknown to me... ;)

I installed a fresh Debian Sarge yesterday and noticed that it's /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd now instead of /etc/init.d/inetd.
