Solaris 10 Update: Release Notes About `inetd` Warning Messages in `/var/adm/messages`

August 2009

This tech note is about a warning message from the Internet services daemon inetd, which is output to /var/adm/messages in inetd in the Solaris 10 5/08 release (or Solaris 10 8/07, the release before it). When a patch is applied, the following messages may be output to /var/adm/messages. These messages indicate that some service instances do not clearly specify actions to an inetd_offline method, so a default action is taken. Since this is not critical, the system problem can be disregarded.
