Inetd was available in 5.5.

My guess is that inetd cannot find the inetd.conf file.

You will need to link /etc/inetd.conf to the equivalent MPE file in the NET.SYS
group.

For this you will need the NEWLINK command.

:NEWLINK /etc/inetd.conf, INETDCNF.NET.SYS

Make sure inetdcnf.net.sys exists, you may just have a sample file (inetdsam)
which you will have to rename.


Kind regards,

Check the services.net.sys file.
Check the protocols.net.sys file.

However, more importantly, I didn't think INETD was introduced until 6.0

I am trying to run telnet server for the first time on a 969 v. 55 pp 7 and
am receiving the following error message:

:run inetd.net.sys
(24/27) Continue?

 Reading configuration
 /etc/inetd.conf:  Error: Invalid argument
 /etc/inetd.conf: Unusable configuration file
SYS:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
