Do you try to start it manually, from the command line? It is intended to be started by inetd (or xinetd, or a similar program). You should need root privileges to edit its configuration file, and also for step 5) below. I am assuming inetd for the following. My /etc/inetd.conf contains a line like this: # # GNATS Problem Report System # support stream tcp nowait gnats /usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd gnatsd Make sure that: 1) The 1st field ("support" above) contains a known service; that is, /etc/services contains a line for it. It could also be the corresponding NIS map, or some LDAP entry, or whatever your system uses instead. Your system administrator should know. 2) The 5th field ("gnats") is the username of your GNATS user. 3) The 6th field ("/usr/local/libexec/gnats/gnatsd") is the full pathname of the gnatsd program. You do not need to use TCP-wrapper or something like this, as gnatsd does something similar through gnats.conf. 4) Check the man page for inetd.conf and reorder the fields, if needed. 5) Tell the running inetd to reread its configuration file, by sending it a "kill -HUP".
