1.Edit the /etc/services. nrts_xfer 13002/tcp # obsolete transfer service edep 14002/tcp # earthquake data exchange protocol 2.Add the following to /etc/inetd.conf (assuming your host is running TCP wrappers, which it better be in this fallen world of ours): nrts_xfer stream tcp nowait nrts /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/nrts/bin/solaris.sun4/nrts_xfer home=/usr/nrts to=60 debug=1 log=syslogd edep stream tcp nowait nrts /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/nrts/bin/solaris.sun4/nrts_edes home=/usr/nrts to=60 debug=1 log=syslogd Be sure to change the home=/usr/nrts if your home directory is something other than /usr/nrts or if you lack the soft link. 3.Add the following services to /etc/xinetd.d service nrts_xfer { flags = NAMEINARGS socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = nrts server = /usr/nrts/bin/linux.i86pc/nrts_xfer server_args = home=/usr/nrts to=60 debug=1 log=/usr/nrts/log/xferlog } service edep { flags = NAMEINARGS socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = nrts server = /usr/nrts/bin/linux.i86pc/nrts_edes server_args = home=/usr/nrts to=60 debug=1 log=/usr/nrts/log/edeslog }
