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.
