Your observation is correct about the line in inetd.conf,
> astrid_server/1 stream rpc/tcp wait menes /usr/local/bin/rpc.acedbd rpc.acedbd /local1/astrid 20000300 1200:1200:0
>> all on a single line
>> this is diffrent from what you report: 20000116/1 stream rpc/tcp wait.....

but I have never got the aceserver to work on either a
SunOS 4.1.3 or Solaris 2.5 machine by specifying the service
name at the beginning of the inetd.conf line. It has only
ever worked using the rpc # instead, this according to the man
pages for inetd.conf is quite valid.
service-name The name of a valid service listed in
the services file. For RPC services,
the value of the service-name field con-
sists of the RPC service name or program
number, followed by a '/' (slash) and
either a version number or a range of
version numbers (for example, rstatd/2-
4).
if try to restart inetd using 'kill -HUP' specifying the service
name rather than it's id in inetd.conf I get message like:
inetd[116]: acedbd/rpc/tcp: unknown service
> However, i am having trouble on a SGI, there the server works nicly in foreground, but not

What do you think...?? I can't get it to run as a foreground
process either I get an error like:
!! internal system error : No valid port specified
Many thanks
