Thanks to all who replied...

I was able to obtain the patches from ftp://ugle.unit.no/pub/unix/sun-fixes
This is a nice site for those without a SUN contract...

The patch for SunOS 4.1.4 is 102479-01...
I works fine...have to watch it for a while to see if it solves our problem...

ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Subject: Patch for inetd under SunOS 4.1.4?

I am looking for a patch I think it is #101618-01 for inetd under SunOS4.1.4.

It is suppose to allow more than 40 connections per minute. I am having some
problems with a server running http which appears to encounter this situation.

The patch allows the format:

/usr/etc/inetd -r 60 60

which would allow 60 connections per minute...etc...

Is this the right patch number?
Has anyone used this patch?--How is it working?

102416-01 SunOS 4.1.4: inetd patch

101618-01 SunOS 4.1.3_U1: inetd "broken server detection" breaks on fast machines

 If you run http as a standalone daemon from /etc/rc.local rather than
through inetd it shouldn't be a problem. With 40 hits/minute the startup
time is going to kill you even with the patch.

 This is the patch number for SunOS 4.1.3_U1 (but I guess it should be okay,
anyway).
 For SunOS 4.1.4, it's 102416-01.
 I did some tests, it works well, while I have the feeling that it allows much
more connections than it should.

patch 101618-01 is a version for Solaris-1.1.1/SunOS-4.1.3_U1.

For Solaris-1.1.2/SunOS-4.1.4 it is patch 102416-01.

Not much help, but a data-point for consideration.
I needed the patch under 4.1.3. I used:

               inetd -r 180 60; echo -n ' inetd'

I have not needed it for 4.1.4. I now use:

                inetd; echo -n ' inetd'

Is it possible you are having a different problem?
