Getting FAM up and running from inetd

[Nils Vogels]

Hi there!

I'm looking for a way to get fam [devel/fam] up and running from inetd.

I seem to have followed all the hints in the pkg-message, however it
doesnt work:

imhotep# ps auxwww|grep inetd
root    97100  0.0  0.1  1128  836  ??  Is   11:10AM   0:00.02
/usr/sbin/inetd -wW
imhotep# ps auxwww|grep portmap
daemon  97494  0.0  0.1   952  612  ??  Is   11:23AM   0:00.00
/usr/sbin/portmap
imhotep# grep fam /etc/inetd.conf
sgi_fam/1-2     stream  rpc/tcp wait    root   
/usr/local/bin/fam      fam
imhotep# grep fam /etc/rpc
sgi_fam         391002          # file alteration monitor
imhotep# rpcinfo -p
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper

When I use courier-imap, fam doesnt start up automatically. I can
start fam from commandline perfectly, but it only has a limited
lifespan then.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated :)

Nils.
