Who runs "inetd" at startup?

QNX 6.2 has “inetd”, and it works fine if run manually,
but it’s not, by default, run at startup.

Who’s supposed to run “inetd” if it is needed? There
are many plausible places to put it in the QNX startup scripts,
but there is presumably a right way to do this.

Why do I want “inetd”? I brought up Samba, and
sharing with Windows 2000 works fine. Set up
“inetd.conf” to start Samba, which also works fine,
but somebody has to start “inetd”.

Thanks. I really appreciate that QNX people take
the time to answer here. Unfortunately, there’s
no “QNX for Dummies” book yet.

There are many ways and none are really ‘right’. The most commonly used way
is /etc/rc.d/rc.local script. Create one if it does not exist, it will be
run on each boot. Make it executable too.
