Inetd.conf problems

[DarkNStormy]

Am trying to refresh inetd. As I understand it, inetd reads inetd.conf to run the subservers.

Only it's not.

here is my inetd.conf :-

ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd
telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd telnetd -a
shell stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/rshd rshd
kshell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/krshd krshd
login stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/rlogind rlogind
klogin stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/krlogind krlogind
exec stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/rexecd rexecd
#comsat dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/comsat comsat
#uucp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/uucpd uucpd
#bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpd bootpd /etc/bootp

## The following line is for installing over the network.
#instsrv stream tcp nowait netinst /u/netinst/bin/instsrv instsrv -r /tmp/n
etinstalllog /u/netinst/scripts
#imap2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/imapd imapd
#pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/pop3d pop3d
instsrv stream tcp nowait netinst /home/netinst/bin/instsrv instsrv -r /tm
p/netinstalllog /home/netinst/scripts

upon reboot, none of the above subservers will start. I tried running a refresh -s inetd, it says it has completed sucessfully, but still these services won;t start.

Any ideas ? I'm totally lost now.....

When you execute an "lssrc -s inetd" is inetd active?

...and also - you aren't looking for these daemons as running processes, are you? You won't see them - they are invoked via incoming TCP requests through inetd. ( ok you probably know that, in which case just ignore me. )
