What were you trying to do?
Put this line in my /etc/inetd.conf file:
ftp stream tcp nowait unswitched root /etc/athena/ftpd ftpd -L 16 -l -a -bftp-bugs@pit-manager.mit.edu
What's wrong:
The last argument ("-bftp-bugs@pit-manager.mit.edu") doesn't
get passed to ftpd, apparently because inetd limits the length
of command lines.
What should have happened:
It shouldn't limit things in this way.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The version of inetd in /mit/jik/src/inetd, which I suggested
be made the Athena default inetd quite a while ago, does not
have this bug (and I have switched to it on pit-manager as a
work-around).
