Dying Processes

        Hi.
        I need some help with a mystery. I am relatively new to Digital
        Unix Administration. Twice in the past 8 weeks the inetd process
        has suddenly died. I have been given no warning from the OS, no
        error messages logged or displayed. The only way I find out is
        when all of the users start calling one right after another
        reporting they can not log in. I then grep for the process, see
        it is not running, and then gracefully shut the system down.

        Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone give me a clue where to
        look for errors, or logs? Can inetd be restarted without shutting
        the system down? What would cause inetd to die/be killed? Any
        help/advice would be appreciated. I will summarize.

        Patty
