[CLUE-Tech] testing famd?

[Dennis J Perkins]

I've never used fam, but Beyond Linux From Scratch has a small amount of 
information about compilation and configuration.


Fam apparently needs portmap.  That seems like an odd requirement for a file 
alteration monitor.

You can check this file: /etc/fam.conf

Does /etc/inetd.conf have this line:
sgi_fam/1-2 stream  rpc/tcp wait root /usr/bin/fam fam

/etc/xinetc.conf should have this:

    # description: FAM - file alteration monitor
    service sgi_fam
    {
        type            = RPC UNLISTED
        socket_type     = stream
        user            = root
        group           = nogroup
        server          = /usr/bin/fam
        wait            = yes
        protocol        = tcp
        rpc_version     = 2
        rpc_number      = 391002
    }
