Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Having trouble finding inetd
Hey guys. I've been reading this book about Samba and they were talking very briefly about inetd. They point out that configuration of inetd should be done via /etc/inetd.conf. Thing is, I don't see the conf file and there doesn't appear to be one anywhere else on my drive. I DO see a directory called /etc/xinetd.d so I figured maybe there was an x driven configuration tool for inetd or something, but I don't see that in any of my menus or anything. What the heck am I doing wrong? Did I just not install Mandrake 8 with inetd or something?
Red Hat and few others have now replace inetd with Xinet.(more secure etc..)
So your need edit /etc/Xinetd.conf file.
Then once you have tweaked it to your liking just restart it Xinet
Regards,
Alex

Thanks Alex, I really appreciate the input. Does the fact that it's got an x in front of it mean that there's a GUI editor for this or something ala. SWAT for Samba? Not that it would really help, just curious.
You can modify the file with any editor you would like the x stand extended if not mistaken.
Alex :)
