Hi John,

I followed your instruction but still does not work. I am afraid that
webcache is not "listening".. Do you use the same method as he said to
kill and restart inetd? 

Below is what I did on my 7250:
$ ps | grep inetd
  PID  Uid     VmSize Stat Command
   56 root        716 S   /usr/sbin/inetd
$ kill -HUP 56
$ ps |grep inetd
   56 root        716 S   /usr/sbin/inetd

However it seems that "kill -UP 56" does not invoke inetd re-read
inetd.conf. That's why my request got rejected.
