      @palo:

      ps awux | grep inetd

      root    6055  0.0  0.9  1436  1088  ??  INs  4:58PM  0:00.43 /usr/sbin/inetd -a 127.0.0.1 /var/etc/inetd.conf
      root    13299  0.0  0.8  1456  952  p0  RL+  11:29PM  0:00.01 grep inetd

      Is that /var/etc/inetd.conf correct ? Should it be /etc/inetd.conf ?

      Nope.

      ls -la /var/etc/inetd.conf

      -rw-r–r--  1 root  wheel  17949 Dec 31 23:15 /var/etc/inetd.conf

      @palo:

      ls -l /var/etc/inetd.conf

      ls: /var/etc/inetd.conf: No such file or directory

      ls -l /etc/inetd.conf

      -rw-r–r--  1 root  wheel  108 Dec 26 05:18 /etc/inetd.conf

      Btw, it happens every 10 minutes:

      Every 10 minutes!?  I don't see how this is possible.  Do you not have any redirects in place?

          Today I recreated that bittorrent portforwarding rule which I made yesterday and it seems that problem is gone. I don't have any idea what might cause that error message but everything seems to work ok right now. Well, I still don't have /var/etc/inetd.conf file but if everything works, I don't care.

            I got the same error on a fresh installation of 1beta. Disabling reflection didnt help - deleting all NAT and Firewall rules didnt help ( didnt reboot though ). Finally I made a new  NAT port forward rule ( and the auto firewall at the same time ) AND rebooted the system. Problem went away…

            The only thing that I did differently the first time was that after creating the port forward rule...

            1 - I forgot that I needed UDP protocoll too so edited the NAT rule AND firewall rule to include that.
            2 - Edited them again a second time to remove ip and ad an Alias instead.

            How about the other guys who got this error message and then made it go away by making a fresh new rule. Maybe there is a bug with EDITING rules. I will try and mess with it some more tomorrow to see if I can get the error back. Need to hit the sack now though :)

              This is hopefully fixed in beta 2.

                Now im getting something like this when running torrent software "inetd[348]: accept (for 19000): Software caused connection abort" but I suspect this is cuz I have forwarded one port only and torrents want a number of them to work well…

                Anyway I wanted to ask what log readers you guys are using?

                  I also (still, after a clean install and setting up all the rules again) get the same error.
                  inetd[366]: accept (for 19000): Software caused connection abort

                  Are you sure this is due to only forwarding one port for torrent even when the torrent program says it only needs one?

                  If you can't find it, make it and share it!

                    Click System -> Advanced -> Disable Reflection

                      Isn't the "reflection" the function in the firewall that let "me" (inside the lan) surf to my own dns name without having to actually go out and back in again (or to be in need of a host file, or an internal DNS)?

                      Anyway, is this a serious error? Or just an annoying thing filling up the log? :)

                        Yes that is the function that allows you access it from internal.  It looks like something is connecting and aborting the connect often.
