1.9.18 is outdated, so after you've solved this particular problem, you
should update.

Please see http://www.leafnode.org/faq.html#3. Note inetd -d is not
going to get any results, so skip that step, but you can run xinetd -d
instead -- or try lsof -i:119 (on the server).

When reading the above URL, you will verify that. Don't use "telnet
localhost 119", but "telnet 192.168.0.2 119" instead. Please run tcpdump
on the server while doing that.

The canonical translation is "connection refused: operation in
progress." -- it corresponds to EINPROGRESS. Whatever KNode is trying to
do there, it may be asynchronous I/O.

This is unrelated; neither SPT nor DPT are port 119.

Moins bon que votre anglais, certainnement. :-)

Je ne parle pas le français très bien non plus (si vous auriez posé
cette question il y a dix ans...), mais je peux le lire. Si vous avez
besoin d'expliquer des choses en français, n'utilisez pas de la langage
courante...

Euhm, est-ce qu'on se tutoie sur des listes de diffusion ou dans le
Usenet? Je ne suis pas sûr...

Je conseille d'écrire en anglais tout de même.
