inetd.conf

Hi all,

I have a problem, i use a modified oem for the areca driver and my inetd.conf have this caractere ^M at the end of the line so it doesn't work.

I try to modify them and it works but after a reboot the inetd.conf loose my configuration and the ^M appear again.

The reason for this ... sounds like you might have edited the inetd.conf using a Windows editor which saves the ^M characters. Upon removal, the reason why it still appears on reboot is probably the 'auto backup' ran on ESXi at a periodic time interval to preserve certain configurations.

The way to fix this, you should remove all the ^M characters and then manually run:

/sbin/auto-backup.sh

Which will backup your changes and will survive reboots and you'll see what files are backed up.

In fact the most simple is to remake the cd and reinstall esxi xD
