Does the ODBC-ODBC Bridge installation support xinetd
on UNIX?
xinetd
is an open-source replacement for inetd
. xinetd
combines inetd
, tcpwrappers
, and a considerable amount of other functionality.
The install scripts for UNIX distributions up to 1.0.0.23 do not support xinetd
, although it is relatively trivial to manually add the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge server to the xinetd
configuration, post installation:
- Locate the
xinetd.conf
file. It is usually in/etc/xinetd/conf
. - Examine the
xinetd.conf
file and look for anincludedir
command.If you find an
includedir
command, change to that directory and create a file calledesoobserver
that has these contents:service esoobserver { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /bin/bash server_args = /usr/local/easysoft/oob/server/server disable = no }
Make sure the
server
argument is a valid shell on your system. - If in the previous step, you didn't find an
includedir
command, add the previous entry to the end of yourxinetd.conf
file. - Tell
xinetd
to reread its configuration files.You usually do this by sending it a
USR1
signal. For example,kill -USR1 process_id_of_xinetd
. However, asxinetd
can be configured to use different signals, check what signal your version ofxinetd
requires.
