Inetd services

Setting up rsyncd as inetd service

1. Put it into the legacy file /etc/inetd.conf <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

1. printf "rsync\tstream\ttcp\tnowait\troot\t/usr/bin/rsync\t/usr/bin/rsync --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf --daemon\n" >> /etc/inetd.conf

</source>

2. Use inetconv to generate your XML file <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

1. inetconv -o /tmp

100235/1 -> /tmp/100235_1-rpc_ticotsord.xml Importing 100235_1-rpc_ticotsord.xml ...Done rsync -> /tmp/rsync-tcp.xml Importing rsync-tcp.xml ...Done </source>

3. Optionally modify the generated XML file /tmp/rsync-tcp.xml

4. Import the XML file <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

1. svccfg import /tmp/rsync-tcp.xml

</source>

5. Enable it: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

1. inetadm -e svc:/network/rsync/tcp:default

</source>

6. Check it: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

1. netstat -anf inet | nawk -v port="$(nawk '$1=="rsync"{gsub(/\/.*$/,"",$2);print $2;}' /etc/services)" '$1 ~ port"$" && $NF=="LISTEN"'

     *.873                *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN
