My /etc/athena/activate.local stopped working when I installed 6.0A
on my RT.
The script consists of two commands:
/usr/athena/access_on
/bin/kill -1 `cat /etc/inetd.pid`
Running the script by hand, and then one command at a time, reveals
that access_on turns on access as expected, but the /bin/kill turns
it off again.
I believe that in the 5.5T version of inetd, the /bin/kill (hangup
signal) was REQUIRED in order to get the access_on to take under some
conditions . As I recall, I had some trouble getting access_on to
work, and it started working consistently after someone recommended
adding the hangup. So I assume that other people may have that
hangup in their configuration, too.
