<P><STRONG>Synopsis</STRONG>
<PRE><B>inetd</B> [<B>-d</B>] [&lt;<VAR>configfile</VAR>>]
</PRE>
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
<P>The AFS-modified <B>inetd</B> program functions like the standard UNIX
<B>inetd</B> program, but also enables users of the remote services it
supports to access them as authenticated AFS users, provided that the
supported services are also AFS-modified versions that pass AFS tokens
(authentication information). Examples of supported services are the
<B>rcp</B> and <B>rsh</B> programs.
<P>The AFS <B>inetd</B> program can service the standard UNIX versions of
the remote services, but it is instead recommended that the standard UNIX
version of the <B>inetd</B> program be run in parallel with the AFS
version. Name the AFS version something like
<B>inetd.afs</B> and use it to service requests from AFS-modified
programs; use the standard <B>inetd</B> program to service requests
from standard UNIX programs. This separation requires using two
different <B>inetd.conf</B> files, as described in the following
section.
<P><STRONG>Cautions</STRONG>
<P>Several configuration changes are necessary for token passing to work
correctly with the AFS version of the <B>inetd</B> program. There
are possibly other UNIX-based requirements or restrictions not mentioned
here; consult the UNIX manual page. (One important restriction is
that there can be no blank lines in the configuration file other than at the
end.)
<P>The requirements and restrictions include the following. They assume
that the <B>inetd.afs</B> process is running in parallel with the
standard <B>inetd</B> process.
<UL>
<P><LI>For token passing to work, the request must come from the AFS version of
the remote service (such as the AFS <B>rcp</B> or AFS <B>rsh</B>
command). If the remote service is the standard UNIX version, it cannot
pass a token. The issuer of the remote command is authenticated only in
the local file system, not with AFS.
<P><LI>The machine's initialization files (<B>/etc/rc</B> file or
equivalent) must invoke both the standard <B>inetd</B> and
<B>inetd.afs</B> programs.
<P><LI>An AFS-specific <B>inetd.conf</B> file, perhaps called
<B>inetd.conf.afs</B>, must exist alongside the standard
one. When initializing the <B>inetd.afs</B> program, specify
this configuration file rather than the standard one. Each line in the
<B>inetd.conf.afs</B> file must include an additional field,
fifth from the left, to specify the identity under which the program is to
run. The normal choice is the local superuser <B>root</B>.
The following sample shows the only lines that need to appear in this
file:
<PRE> ta-rauth stream tcp nowait root internal ta-rauth
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/rshd rshd
login stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/rlogind rlogind
</PRE>
<P>Substitute appropriate values for the binary locations and names in the
instructions, particularly for the <TT>shell</TT> and <TT>login</TT>
processes. Include the <TT>login</TT> instruction only if the
AFS-modified versions of login utilities are also in use in the cell;
otherwise, refer to <TT>login</TT> in the standard
<B>inetd.conf</B> instead.
<P>Note also that some system types use different process names. For
example, on Sun system types change <TT>rshd</TT> to
<TT>in.rshd</TT> and <TT>rlogind.afs</TT> to
<TT>in.rlogind.afs</TT> in the <TT>shell</TT> and
<TT>login</TT> instructions, respectively.
<P><LI>Edit the standard <B>inetd.conf</B> file (referenced by the
standard <B>inetd</B> process): comment out the <TT>shell</TT>
instruction and, if AFS-modified versions of login utilities are in use in the
cell, the <TT>login</TT> instruction. The
<B>inetd.conf.afs</B> file references these processes
instead. Retain the <TT>login</TT> instruction if AFS-modified
versions of login utilities are not being used. Alter the
<TT>ftp</TT> instruction to refer to the AFS version of the <B>ftpd</B>
process, if it is substituted for the standard version. Do not insert
the extra fifth column into instructions in the standard
<B>inetd.conf</B> file if it does not already appear there.
See the following <B>Examples</B> section for an illustration.
</UL>
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
<P>See the UNIX manual page for the <B>inetd</B> program.
<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
<P>The following are sample <B>inetd.conf.afs</B> and
<B>inetd.conf</B> files, appropriate for use when the
<B>inetd.afs</B> program is running in parallel with the standard
<B>inetd</B> and AFS-modified login utilities are being used in the
cell. Changes to the standard <B>inetd.conf</B> file include
referencing the AFS version of the <B>ftpd</B> binary and commenting out
the <TT>shell</TT> and <TT>login</TT> lines. The example
<B>inetd.conf</B> file does not include the extra fifth
column. Do not use these examples without modifying them appropriately
for the local machine type or cell.
