nmap -O puts target SunOS 4.x machine in a weird state: inetd stops
spawning services.  Sometimes killing and restarting inetd is needed,
sometimes not.  Sometimes restarting inetd doesn't help at all.


You are using an old inet daemon. That's a known and fixed bug. Upgrade.

If you don´t upgrade, you are vulnerable to attack from anywhere in
Internet.
