After editing /etc/inetd.conf, you must force inetd to re-read the conf
file:
% /etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd restart
Also, be sure that your /etc/hosts.deny says the following:
% cat /etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL
and that /etc/hosts.allow has something akin to (check to make sure I
have the daemon names correct!) These are roughly what I have, yours
will be different but the syntax is the same:
% cat /etc/hosts.allow
ALL EXCEPT in.telnetd \
EXCEPT in.ftpd \
EXCEPT portmap : LOCAL
in.telnetd: .mydomain.com .othertrusteddomain.com
in.ftpd: ALL
portmap: trustedhost.mydomain.com anotherone.otherdomain.org
Then, for NFS, you need to set up /etc/exports if you are making
available something on that machine to NFS, i.e.:
% cat /etc/exports
/usr/local/exports/foo trustedhost.mydomain.com(rw,no_root_squash)
You will have to RTFM's for what you need to do with NFS. I can't cover
every possibility here!
Hope this helps.
