Is /etc/inetd listed when you do a ps -ef | grep inetd
If not, you need to restart it, possibly using:
/etc/rc2.d/S85tcp start
HTH.

Thanks for the reply KenCunningham.
One of the weirdest things happened, We were closed yesterday and I'd shutdown the server for the day. Today I was hoping to solve the issue. And I couldn't beleive it. Telnet, Ftp, http are working...
But I don't understand I'd restarted the server 4 - 5 times. I still don't get the root cause.
By the way i did run the command you gave, and below is the output.
root 322 1 0 08:44:32 ? 00:00:00 /etc/inetd
HTH

hi,
Were there any errors in /usr/adm/messages , mail ?
if you do netstat -m , were there any streams that failed
Is ther any errors in /usr/adm/syslog
Basically check on your server , for any resource that is low ? Does your system run slow when this happened ?
just a few more thoughts , let us jnow how you get on

Hi DSMARWAY,
There were no errors in /usr/adm/messages & mail. No failed streams.But there is this error which is still there in /usr/adm/syslog
Aug 16 14:42:52 scosysv telnetd[6915]: can't find user in protected password database
Aug 16 14:43:27 scosysv bootpd[641]: bad addr len from from Ethernet address 52.41.53.20.10.93
But since telnet, ftp, http are working, I guess this is not the problem.
We've a LTS (Lan Terminal Server), that I'm checking out. this could've triggered the problem.
I really appreciate the time you've spent. Life has never been easy with Unix for a MS guy like me until I came into this Forum.
