Hello Ted Johnson,

Re: JINETD Job won't abort

Sounds like possible problems with telnet to me...

I suggest following:

  1. Involve your friends at the HP-RC
  2. Change the priority of the inetd process from default of ds queue
     to priority of cs.  This is done as follows:
       Modify the job JINETD.NET.SYS with an editor as follows:
         !run inetd.net.sys;pri=cs
     Then stop and restart the JINETD job.
  3. Install patches NSTEDV6 and PTDEDU6 which includes the 1653224386 fix.
     Note: MPEJXN9B is a required dependant of NSTEDV6.  Note:  All of these
     recommended patches are BETA TEST.
  4. If further occurance of a INETD hang which stops new telnet
     connections is seen, then take a memory dump while the INETD is
     hung and a telnet connection is in progress (also hung).

I hope this helps...   If the HP-RC has questions about this when you call,
tell them you talked to me "James Hofmeister in WTEC", they know only too
well where to find me.
