.SH NAME
inetd \- Service Management Facility delegated restarter for inet services
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBinetd\fR  [\fIconfiguration-file\fR] start |  stop |  refresh
.fi

.LP
.nf
 svc:/network/inetd:default
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
\fBinetd\fR is the delegated restarter for internet services for the Service
Management Facility (SMF). Its basic responsibilities are to manage service
states in response to administrative requests, system failures, and service
failures; and, when appropriate, to listen for network requests for services.
.sp
.LP
Services are no longer managed by editing the inetd configuration file,
\fBinetd.conf\fR(5). Instead, you use \fBinetconv\fR(8) to convert the
configuration file content into SMF format services, then manage these services
using \fBinetadm\fR(8) and \fBsvcadm\fR(8). Once a service has been converted
by \fBinetconv\fR, any changes to the legacy data in the \fBinetd\fR config
file will not become effective. However, \fBinetd\fR does alert the
administrator when it notices change in the configuration file. See the start
description under the "inetd Methods" section for further information.
.sp
.LP
Also note that the current \fBinetd\fR cannot be run from outside the SMF. This
means it cannot be run from the command line, as was supported by the previous
\fBinetd\fR. If you attempt to do this, a message is sent to stderr displaying
mappings between the options supported by the previous \fBinetd\fR to the SMF
version of \fBinetd\fR.
.sp
.LP
\fBinetd\fR listens for connections on behalf of all services that are in
either the \fBonline\fR or \fBdegraded\fR state. A service enters one of these
states when the service is enabled by the user and \fBinetd\fR manages to
listen on its behalf. A listen attempt can fail if another server (whether
standalone or a third-party internet service) is already listening on the same
port. When this occurs, \fBinetd\fR logs this condition and continues trying to
bind to the port at configured intervals a configured number of times. See the
property \fBbind_fail_max\fR under "Service Properties," below, for more
details.
.sp
.LP
The configuration of all \fBinetd\fR's managed SMF services is read when it is
started. It is reread when \fBinetd\fR is refreshed, which occurs in response
to an SMF request, or when it receives a SIGHUP signal. See the \fBrefresh\fR
description under "inetd Methods" for the behavior on configuration refresh.
.sp
.LP
You can use the \fBinetadm\fR(8) or \fBsvccfg\fR(8) utilities to make
configuration changes to Internet services within the SMF repository.
\fBinetadm\fR has the advantage over \fBsvccfg\fR in that it provides an
Internet/RPC service context.
.SS "Service States"
.LP
As part of its service management duties, \fBinetd\fR implements a state
machine for each of its managed services. The states in this machine are made
up of the \fBsmf\fR(7) set of states. The semantics of these states are as
follows:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBuninitialized\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
\fBinetd\fR has yet to process this service.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBonline\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The service is handling new network requests and might have existing
connections active.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBdegraded\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The service has entered this state because it was able to listen and process
requests for some, but not all, of the protocols specified for the service,
having exhausted its listen retries. Existing network connections might be
active.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBoffline\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Connections might be active, but no new requests are being handled. This is a
transient state. A service might be \fBoffline\fR for any of the following
reasons:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
The service's dependencies are unmet. When its dependencies become met the
service's state will be re-evaluated.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
The service has exceeded its configured connection rate limit,
\fBmax_con_rate\fR. The service's state is re-evaluated when its connection
offline timer, \fBcon_rate_offline\fR, expires.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
The service has reached its allowed number of active connections,
\fBmax_copies\fR. The service's state is re-evaluated when the number of active
connections drops below \fBmax_copies\fR.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
\fBinetd\fR failed to listen on behalf of the service on all its protocols. As
mentioned above, \fBinetd\fR retries up to a configured maximum number of
times, at configured intervals.The service's state is re-evaluated when either
a listen attempt is successful or the retry limit is reached.
.RE
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBdisabled\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The service has been turned off by an administrator, is not accepting new
connections, and has none active. Administrator intervention is required to
exit this state.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBmaintenance\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
A service is in this state because it is either malfunctioning and needs
administrator attention or because an administrator has requested it.
.sp
Events constituting malfunctioning include: \fBinetd\fR's inability to listen
on behalf on any of the service's protocols before exceeding the service's bind
retry limit, non-start methods returning with non-success return values, and
the service exceeding its failure rate.
.sp
You request the maintenance state to perform maintenance on the service, such
as applying a patch. No new requests are handled in this state, but existing
connections might be active. Administrator intervention is required to exit
this state.
.RE

.sp
.LP
Use \fBinetadm\fR(8) to obtain the current state of a managed service.
.SS "Service Methods"
.LP
As part of certain state transitions \fBinetd\fR will execute, if supplied, one
of a set of methods provided by the service. The set of supported methods are:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBinetd_start\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Executed to handle a request for an \fBonline\fR or \fBdegraded\fR service.
Since there is no separate state to distinguish a service with active
connections, this method is not executed as part of a state transition.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBinetd_offline\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Executed when a service is taken from the \fBonline\fR or \fBdegraded\fR state
to the \fBoffline\fR state. For a \fBwait\fR-type service that at the time of
execution is performing its own listening, this method should result in it
ceasing listening. This method will be executed before the \fBdisable\fR method
in the case an \fBonline\fR/\fBdegraded\fR service is disabled. This method is
required to be implemented for a \fBwait\fR-type service.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBinetd_online\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Executed when a service transitions from the \fBoffline\fR state to the
\fBonline\fR state. This method allows a service author to carry out some
preparation prior to a service starting to handle requests.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBinetd_disable\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Executed when a service transitions from the \fBoffline\fR state to the
\fBdisabled\fR state. It should result in any active connections for a service
being terminated.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBinetd_refresh\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Executed when both of the following conditions are met:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
\fBinetd\fR is refreshed, by means of the framework or a SIGHUP, or a request
comes in to refresh the service, and
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
the service is currently in the \fBonline\fR state and there are no
configuration changes that would result in the service needing to be taken
\fBoffline\fR and brought back again.
.RE
.RE

.sp
.LP
The only compulsory method is the \fBinetd_start\fR method. In the absence of
any of the others, \fBinetd\fR runs no method but behaves as if one was run
successfully.
.SS "Service Properties"
.LP
Configuration for SMF-managed services is stored in the SMF repository. The
configuration is made up of the basic configuration of a service, the
configuration for each of the service's methods, and the default configuration
applicable to all \fBinetd\fR-managed services.
.sp
.LP
For details on viewing and modifying the configuration of a service and the
defaults, refer to \fBinetadm\fR(8).
.sp
.LP
The basic configuration of a service is stored in a property group named
\fBinetd\fR in the service. The properties comprising the basic configuration
are as follows:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBbind_addr\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The address of the network interface to which the service should be bound. An
empty string value causes the service to accept connections on any network
interface.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBbind_fail_interval\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The time interval in seconds between a failed bind attempt and a retry. The
values \fB0\fR and \fB-1\fR specify that no retries are attempted and the first
failure is handled the same as exceeding \fBbind_fail_max\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBbind_fail_max\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The maximum number of times \fBinetd\fR retries binding to a service's
associated port before giving up. The value \fB-1\fR specifies that no retry
limit is imposed. If none of the service's protocols were bound to before any
imposed limit is reached, the service goes to the \fBmaintenance\fR state;
otherwise, if not all of the protocols were bound to, the service goes to the
\fBdegraded\fR state.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBcon_rate_offline\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The time in seconds a service will remain offline if it exceeds its configured
maximum connection rate, \fBmax_con_rate\fR. The values \fB0\fR and \fB-1\fR
specify that connection rate limiting is disabled.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBconnection_backlog\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The backlog queue size. Represents a limit on the number of incoming client
requests that can be queued at the listening endpoints for servers.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBendpoint_type\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The type of the socket used by the service or the value \fBtli\fR to signify a
TLI-based service. Valid socket type values are: \fBstream\fR, \fBdgram\fR,
\fBraw\fR, \fBseqpacket\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBfailrate_cnt\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The count portion of the service's failure rate limit. The failure rate limit
applies to \fBwait\fR-type services and is reached when \fIcount\fR instances
of the service are started within a given time. Exceeding the rate results in
the service being transitioned to the \fBmaintenance\fR state. This is
different from the behavior of the previous \fBinetd\fR, which continued to
retry every 10 minutes, indefinitely. The \fBfailrate_cnt\fR check accounts for
badly behaving servers that fail before consuming the service request and which
would otherwise be continually restarted, taxing system resources. Failure rate
is equivalent to the \fB-r\fR option of the previous \fBinetd\fR. The values
\fB0\fR and \fB-1\fR specify that this feature is disabled.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBfailrate_interval\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The time portion in seconds of the service's failure rate. The values \fB0\fR
and \fB-1\fR specify that the failure rate limit feature is disabled.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBinherit_env\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
If true, pass \fBinetd\fR's environment on to the service's start method.
Regardless of this setting, \fBinetd\fR will set the variables \fBSMF_FMRI\fR,
\fBSMF_METHOD\fR, and \fBSMF_RESTARTER\fR in the start method's environment, as
well as any environment variables set in the method context. These variables
are described in \fBsmf_method\fR(7).

connection rate limiting is disabled.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBmax_copies\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6

In the case of socket-based services, this is a list of protocols supported by
the service. Valid protocols are: \fBtcp\fR, \fBtcp6\fR, \fBtcp6only\fR,
\fBudp\fR, \fBudp6\fR, and \fBudp6only\fR. In the case of TLI services, this is
a list of netids recognized by \fBgetnetconfigent\fR(3NSL) supported by the
service, plus the values \fBtcp6only\fR and \fBudp6only\fR. RPC/TLI services
also support nettypes in this list, and \fBinetd\fR first tries to interpret
the list member as a nettype for these service types. The values \fBtcp6only\fR
and \fBudp6only\fR are new to \fBinetd\fR; these values request that
\fBinetd\fR listen only for and pass on true \fBIPv6\fR requests (not IPv4
mapped ones). See "Configuring Protocols for Sockets-Based Services," below.

.sp .6
.RS 4n
If true, and this is a \fBnowait\fR-type service, \fBinetd\fR logs the client's
IP address and TCP port number, along with the name of the service, for each
incoming connection, using the \fBsyslog\fR(3C) facility. \fBinetd\fR uses the
\fBsyslog\fR facility \fBcode\fR daemon and \fBnotice\fR priority level. See
\fBsyslog.conf\fR(5) for a description of \fBsyslog\fR codes and severity
levels. This logging is separate from the logging done by the TCP wrappers
facility.
.sp
\fBtcp_trace\fR is equivalent to the previous \fBinetd\fR's \fB-t\fR option

connections (using the \fBnotice\fR severity level) and denied traffic (using
the \fBwarning\fR severity level). See \fBsyslog.conf\fR(5) for a description
of \fBsyslog\fR codes and severity levels. The stability level of the TCP
wrappers facility and its configuration files is External. As the TCP wrappers
facility is not controlled by Sun, intra-release incompatibilities are not
uncommon. See \fBattributes\fR(7).
.sp
For more information about configuring TCP wrappers, refer to

Datagram servers must be configured as being of type \fBwait\fR, as they are
always invoked with the original datagram endpoint that will participate in
delivering the service bound to the specified service. They do not have
separate "listening" and "accepting" sockets. Connection-oriented services,

A number of the basic properties are optional for a service. In their absence,
their values are taken from the set of default values present in the

Each method specified for a service will have its configuration stored in the
SMF repository, within a property group of the same name as the method. The set
of properties allowable for these methods includes those specified for the
services managed by \fBsvc.startd\fR(8). (See \fBsvc.startd\fR(8) for further
details.) Additionally, for the \fBinetd_start\fR method, you can set the
\fBarg0\fR property.
.sp
.LP
The \fBarg0\fR property allows external wrapper programs to be used with
\fBinetd\fR services. Specifically, it allows the first argument,
\fBargv[0]\fR, of the service's start method to be something other than the
path of the server program.
.sp
.LP
In the case where you want to use an external wrapper program and pass
arguments to the service's daemon, the arguments should be incorporated as
arguments to the wrapper program in the \fBexec\fR property. For example:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
exec='/path/to/wrapper/prog service_daemon_args'
arg0='/path/to/service/daemon'
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
In addition to the special method tokens mentioned in \fBsmf_method\fR(7),
\fBinetd\fR also supports the \fB:kill_process\fR token for \fBwait\fR-type
services. This results in behavior identical to that if the \fB:kill\fR token
were supplied, except that the \fBkill\fR signal is sent only to the parent
process of the \fBwait\fR-type service's \fBstart\fR method, not to all members
of its encompassing process contract (see \fBprocess\fR(5)).
.SS "Configuring Protocols for Sockets-Based Services"
.LP
When configuring \fBinetd\fR for a sockets-based service, you have the choice,
depending on what is supported by the service, of the alternatives described
under the \fBproto\fR property, above. The following are guidelines for which
\fBproto\fR values to use:
.RS +4

.SH NOTES
.LP
The \fBinetd\fR daemon performs the same function as, but is implemented
significantly differently from, the daemon of the same name in Solaris 9 and
prior Solaris operating system releases. In the current Solaris release,
\fBinetd\fR is part of the Service Management Facility (see \fBsmf\fR(7)) and
will run only within that facility.

The \fB/etc/default/inetd\fR file has been deprecated. The functionality
represented by the properties \fBENABLE_CONNECTION_LOGGING\fR and
\fBENABLE_TCP_WRAPPERS\fR are now available as the \fBtcp_trace\fR and
\fBtcp_wrappers\fR properties, respectively. These properties are described
above, under "Service Properties".
