The MQ documentation for Solaris MQ Server 5.3 implementation (we're using Solaris 9) conflicts in that it states the runmqlsr uses /etc/services AND that it no longer relies on inetd.conf:

In one instance it states:
edit /etc/services with the definition of the port the channel uses
edit /etc/inetd.conf to define the protocol
restart inetd

It also states:
the runmqlsr listener no longer uses inetd and that it reads /etc/services directly for the port definition

Question: If it is true that runmqlsr no longer reads /etc/inetd.conf, there is no need to modify inetd.conf. Should the inetd be restarted after /etc/services is modified or not?

I think there is some confusion on the two types of listeners. One of them is runmqlsr which can be started from a command line and uses threading to do its listening. The other is amqcrsta which is process based and is started via inetd. runmqlsr will use /etc/services to pick up its port number. However, I'd specify it on the command line (I think it is safer).

Well, I felt pretty confident in my answer until your showed up. I remember this coming up once before. If you don't specify a 'MQSeries' entry in the /etc/services, it uses this as the port. If you don't have this and don't specify anything on the command line, it uses the default of 1414.

I'll do some more digging to confirm/deny this.

Check out this thread:

I actually appended on what I thought happened and was corrected which is why it stuck with me.
