1) Login as root 2) /etc/init.d/inetsvc stop wait a few secs then... 3) /etc/init.d/inetsvc start
Should be sorted. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, Mark.
It works! But I have more questions. :)
If I want to do the same on aix and linux machine, what commands should I use?
Sorry for asking non-solaris related questions.

On other systems it's pretty much a case of killing and restarting inetd. on Solaris you need to run inetd -s (which is in the inetsvc file).
As far as I'm aware on AIX etc you should just be able to find the PID of inetd, kill it, and then restart it again, I know this works on Linux fine.
also: kill -HUP inetd might work on some of these other flavours. (although I stand to be corrected).
Hope this is useful! :o)

Oh, by the way, regarding services file, if you're just trying to disable stuff like telnet and so on you may want to do this in the /etc/inetd.conf file instead of services... just a neater way of doing it.
Although I assume you're remapping ports or something similar.
Cheers

Is there a maximum number a service can have in /etc/services? I thought it was 32676 on older versions of Solaris. Does the 64 bit architecture allow for twice that maximum?
Thanks.
