Re: Help with NetInfo Manager/Enabling services

You don't need to worry about netinfo for most of your concerns. It's not related. Since you're new, you might not be aware, but:
www.darwinfo.org archives both this list and darwin-development
www.omnigroup.com hosts and archives several Mac OS X-specific lists

Subject: Help with NetInfo Manager/Enabling services

/etc/services is not used accept in single-user mode, so I tried enabling
(using the Terminal application) the port-specific services in
etc/inetd.conf, but I still wasn't able to make a satisfactory change. For
example, I enabled telnet in etc/inetd.conf by deleting the comment
character "#" in the vi editor and saved the changes and rebooted. When
trying to access this computer from my companion iMac running OS 9.1 and
NiftyTelnet, my connection is refused and yet, the access attempt was
recorded and allowed according to the access history log from Norton
Personal Firewall (whew!)

I'm not clear what /etc/services plays in this, but just like in other Unices, if you change what's in inetd.conf, don't expect inetd to just automagically pick this up. You need to tell it that its config has changed:
signal -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
(as root; or better, using 'sudo').

Also, I am able to successfully connect using the ssh protocol as expected
(since that is the default protocol) using MacSSH for PPC

So it is apparent that the test machine is hearing my attempt at access, but
the permission is still denied... somewhere! Any ideas?

About what? I'm not sure what you're asking about.

Can anyone direct me to a "How To" .pdf somewhere that might explain the
configuration of NetInfo Manager? Though I also just heard a rumor that
Apple will be 86ing NetInfo Manager in OS X v10.1 - anyone hear anything
like that, and if so would we then likely revert to the more UNIX-like
etc/services arrangement?

Can't hazard a guess what that's all about. There is plenty of info about netinfo and lookupd floating around, though. Start with the darwinfo archives.

Regards,

Justin
