To run the Interix versions of telnetd and rshd as daemons

1. Do one of the following:
   • If you are running Windows NT 4.0, open Control Panel, open Services, and then disable the Windows versions of telnetd and rshd, tlntsvr and rsh, respectively.
   • Or, if you are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP, open Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, open Services, and then disable the Windows versions of telnetd and rshd, tlntsvr and rsh, respectively.
2. Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file to enable the Interix versions of telnetd(1) and rshd(1) by removing the pound sign (#) from the following lines:

   #telnet stream tcp nowait NULL /usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd -i
   #shell stream tcp nowait NULL /usr/sbin/in.rshd in.rshd -a
   

3. Start an Interix command shell.
4. To determine the process identifier (PID) of init, at the command shell prompt type:

   ps -AXunix

5. To stop the init daemon, at the shell command prompt, type:

   kill -HUP pid

   where pid is the PID of the init daemon displayed by the previous step.
6. To restart the init daemon, at the shell command prompt, type:

   /usr/sbin/init
