Hello,
I am aware that this problem has already been discussed on the list, but
unfortunately I didn't find anything that works for me yet.
See below for the contents of my log file.

/etc/services is readable for everyone and it contains a line for smtp.
I've also made a copy of it in /var/spool/postfix/etc/services.

Do I have to put anything special in my inetd.conf?

Regarding the "no transport type specified" line: my master.cf contains
a line reading:
smtp inet n - y - - smtpd

Can anybody tell my what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
  Arjan.
