[TriLUG] the xinetd service sgi_fam

[David McDowell]

like duh... please ignore this thread... I dunno what I was doing
wrong... but it is working as advertised:
chkconfig sgi_fam on|off
I have NO clue why or what I did such that it wasn't yesterday.  *shrugs*
I started testing it on all my systems... FC3, FC1, CentOS 3.4... it
works.  Why it didn't work yesterday or what I must have been doing
wrong will remain a mystery.

Thanks,
David McD
