RE: inetd.conf newbie question

I believe you can "kill -1" the inetd process (which is not as scary as it
sounds), and that should effect a re-read of the .conf file. (This is from
memory though, and from Red Hat, and it's been a long time since I needed to
deal with this, so please verify.)

"kill -HUP <PID of inetd>" is the way I usually do it on linux. This causes inetd to reread inetd.conf without terminating any connections.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
