## Server Failing (looping); Service Terminated

This message indicates that the inetd (“Internet super-server”) daemon received too many requests for a specific service. By default inetd limits this to 1000 connections every 60 seconds.

This message may occur due to any of the following reasons:

- Too many service requests occurred in a short interval.

- A “broken” client program is requesting a service too often.

- A malicious user is running a program that is flooding the server with too many requests, to deny service to other users.

- The invoked service program has an error causing clients to retry their requests for services too quickly.

If only the first problem exists, you may use inetd's `-R` option to increase the rate limit (see man `inetd` for more information.)

If the problem persists, contact your System Administrator or your service provider.
