inetd mode with -L

[newdep]

Hi Lutz,



Seems that newlisp is not reacting on the -L when it runs in inetd mode.

"/usr/bin/newlisp -L -c program" does launch the program but no logging...

Make sure newlisp has writing permissions in it's current directory. To find out it's current diectory, just telnet into the inetd port and enter: (directory)

Hi lutz,



Actualy newlisp runs within inetd as root ...

Has it someting to do with the -c ?



Regards, Norman.

newlisp -c -L on the command line works fine and does logging. inetd uses stdio pipes, so it should be the same. What if you create the file first with: touch newlisp-log.txt ?

Hi Lutz,



I tested again the -L with mode but it does not work in combination

in inetd.conf.. not even touched.. its odd..the logfile is nowhere on my disk..



Did you had a look at it already?



net-eval stream tcp nowait newlisp.newlisp /home/newlisp/bin/newlisp -c -L /home/newlisp/bin/remote.lsp

Sorry for all the fuzz! it works fine !



Root puts the newlisp-log.txt inside the / directory ! if running from inetd mode.

Yes, I looked into it and it works fine for me on OSX 10.4 using xinetd. It shouldn't be different on inetd.



This is my xinetd configuration:

Code Select Expand


service net-eval
{
        socket_type = stream
        wait = no
        user = lutz
        server = /usr/bin/newlisp
        port = 4711
        server_args = -c -L
        only_from = localhost
}


The log file is written to the root directory, where the user 'lutz' has write permissions.



This must be a permissions issue. What is your inetd file configuration entry?



Try to telnet into the port and try to create a file:



(write-file "junkfile" "hello world")



Is the file written? What is the current directory?



Lutz



ps: and don't forget the entry in /etc/services
