Hello everyone

My system is SUSE 8.1 and I want to use xinetd to start the service
"bootp".
I have install the "xinetd-2.3.6-23" and "bootp-2.4.3-7",but after I
start the xinetd under /etc/init.d I find xinetd is always checking for
service.

follow is my operations:

...........
fanxin:/etc/init.d # rpm -qa|grep xinetd
xinetd-2.3.6-23
fanxin:/etc/init.d # rpm -qa|grep bootp
bootp-2.4.3-7
fanxin:/etc/init.d # xinetd
fanxin:/etc/init.d # xinetd status
Usage: xinetd [-d] [-f config_file] [-filelog filename] [-syslog
facility] [-reuse] [-limit proc_limit] [-pidfile filaneme] [-logprocs
limit] [-shutdownprocs limit] [-cc interval]
fanxin:/etc/init.d # ./xinetd status
Checking for service xinetd:
running
fanxin:/etc/init.d #
...............

I setup a new file named bootp in /etc/xinetd.d

service bootps
{
disable =no
socket_type =dgram
protocol =udp
wait =yes
user =root
server =/usr/sbin/bootpd
}

Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot!

Then you should try this '/etc/init.d/bootp start'
