I can't find the old echo service any more, yet if you list /etc/services there is is happily sitting on TCP/UDP port 6. So what is the magic juju that enables it?

xinetd should work for you if you're willing to compile from source: http://www.xinetd.org/ If you just want to play, you can do this to get xinetd running with the sample config from /tmp: cd /tmp curl -kLO http://www.xinetd.org/xinetd-2.3.14.tar.gz tar -zxvf xinetd-2.3.14.tar.gz cd xinetd-2.3.14 ./configure make sudo ./xinetd/xinetd -d -f xinetd/sample.conf I'm personally glad inetd functionality is finally gone. It was nice at one point, but proper daemons controlled by launchd (or Upstart if you're Linux inclined) are the right answer. -r _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
