Hi, we had sent Prof Rutledge mail about this last week, which
is why I suggested contacting him. An Athena SGI release update
occurred earlier in the week. Here's what the mail had to say:
"Please note that both /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/athena/inetd.conf have
been modified by this update. Because mkserv became available only
recently for the SGI, some people may have modified their inetd.conf
files by hand to unswitch remote access services, and those changes
will be undone by the update (though people's old Athena inetd.conf
files will be backed up in /etc/athena/inetd.conf.old). The new,
proper way to make an SGI remotely accessible is to run "mkserv
remote" as root."
So, you or he can either put the old inetd.conf
back in place, or rerun mkserv remote.
