no socket for inetd

Hi,

At boot time inetd cannot find any socket, thus doesn’t start, and
I have to start it manually each boot time. This was the case both in
6.0 and 6.1. 800MHz Celeron.
I tried to introduce a conditional retry after a one second sleep in
the rc.sysinit file, but it still doesn’t find any socket.
The socket comes up later, it just starts too slow.
Any recommended fixes?

Cheers / Tom

Try the command in the script:

waitfor /dev/socket 30

that will wait for 30 seconds for the file/device to come up.
Do that before calling inetd.
