swat error : xinetd[3705]: missing service keyword [line=20]

[Pietjeparasietje]

Hi,

I've still got the problem of not being able to run swat. But I hope/think I found the source.
When my xinetd is restarted by /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

My /var/log/messages gives the following message:

Jul  6 11:22:40 localhost xinetd: xinetd shutdown failed
Jul  6 11:22:40 localhost xinetd[3705]: missing service keyword [line=20]
Jul  6 11:22:40 localhost xinetd[3705]: missing } in last service entry [line=20]
Jul  6 11:22:40 localhost xinetd[3705]: 3705 {general_handler} (3705) Unexpected signal: 11 (Segmentation fault)
Jul  6 11:22:40 localhost last message repeated 9 times

Jul  6 11:22:40 localhost xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded

Does anyone know what's being meant by xinetd[3705]: missing } in last service entry [line=20] ??

Thanks,

Peter

Double check that each { has a corresponding }

In what file????

 

[PHV]

In the config file(s) read by xinetd

But you would have no idea which files that could be, or how I could see what files he's reading?

 

[PHV]

What about man xinetd ?

Ok thanks so far, but I cannot find the file where the error is coming from.
The only file that's being mentioned in man xinetd is config.h

I've checked all the config.h on my system but couldn't find what I was looking for.

 

[PHV]

Don't you have a /etc/xinetd.conf file ?

Sure and it looks like this:

#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/

defaults
{
	instances               = 60
        log_type                = SYSLOG authpriv
        log_on_success		= HOST PID
        log_on_failure		= HOST
	cps			= 25 30
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat

Any ideas?

 

[PHV]

What about replacing this:
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
By this ?
service swat
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
port = 901
disable = no
}

Then he'll give me this error:

xinetd[3664]: bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = swat

in my log

Check the files in the /etc/xinetd.d directory.
