Well, making the daemon run properly would be a better solution, but if you want to do it this way, here's a oneliner: env - POSTING_OK=1 PATH=/home/patrik/sbin:$PATH tcpserver -vRl0 0 119 snntpd Modify the path as appropriate... If you don't have tcpserver, faucet also works: env - POSTING_OK=1 PATH=/home/patrik/sbin:$PATH faucet 119 -io snntpd -- Patrik Rådman patrik at iki dot fi http://www.iki.fi/patrik/
