asked on

/etc/inetd.conf stream TCP

in inetd.conf , they are stream/dgram parameter,

usually stream is refering to TCP ?
but then is it possible to have stream with UDP as a parameter of service?
If not, why they need to mention whether stream/dgram why not directly called it TCP or UDP?

1) What happened if I used TCP and Dgram combination? Will the daemon runs?
2)  service name
         socket type
         protocol
Suppose that if the socket type is raw/sequence packet ..... what should be the protocol? As far as I am concerned the value for protocol is limited to TCP/UDP/RPC/Unix?
