SSH
time
ntalk
finger E. None of the above

The correct answer is E. None of the above.

inetd is a superserver that listens for incoming connections on a number of ports and then forks a process to handle the connection. The services that inetd monitors are:

  • ftp
  • finger
  • netstat
  • rlogin
  • rsh
  • rexec
  • telnet
  • time
  • tftp

SSH is not monitored by inetd because it is a secure shell that uses a different protocol than the other services. SSH is typically started as a daemon, which means that it runs in the background and is always available.

ntalk is a discontinued network chat program that was once popular on Unix systems. It is not monitored by inetd because it is no longer widely used.
