Could somebody tell me where inetd.conf or the equivelent is in Red Hat 7.1. Somebody told me it was xinetd.conf, but I cant find that anywhere either. Basically, I need to add the line:
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
Where do I put it if I dont have an inetd.conf?
Thanks

inetd.conf is not on my computer and I think Red Hat uses a differant file anyways though I could be wrong.

Depending on your RH version, it may be called /etc/xinetd.conf
Speaking of which, does anyone know of an example configuration for xinetd.conf? Mine is pretty barebones and I'm looking into setting up email services.
:D
Oops. Just realized that you mentioned xinetd.conf already. Maybe it's not installed?

I think it's better to keep /etc/xinetd.conf pretty bare. There is directory /etcxinetd.d/ where the configuration files are for each different connection.
And to the main question. Those twho (file and dir) are used by xinetd, which is the inetd used in RH7.1. If you don't have either, you might want to check whether it's installed as suggested earlier.
