How do I run inetd at startup?

[ffonz]

I am trying to backup my Synology NAS to my old NAS. The old NAS has to be an rsync compatible server (according to Synology), and the original OS didn't support it. Fortunately OpenBSD supports my NAS (landisk, well done!), and I managed to get rsync running in daemon mode manually.

I read the option to launch rsync via inetd. I thought this would be the best option. I followed the instructions in the man pages. Everything is done under the root account. The line

rsync           873/tcp

was already in my /etc/services.

I created /etc/inetd.conf and added the line

rsync   stream  tcp     nowait  root   /usr/local/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon

Then I had to send a HUP signal to inetd. But with "ps -A" I didn't see inetd running.

So I added the line

inetd=YES

to rc.conf.local, which looks now like this:

ntpd_flags=
inetd=YES

When I enter inetd at the CLI everything works fine. But when I reboot the NAS, I still don't see inetd running with ps -A. What am I missing?
