Hi, I am using RedHat Linux 7.0. I notice I don't have the file /etc/inetd.conf. Where is it? instead, in /etc, i have a file /etc/xinetd.conf

Are they the same? why is it xinetd.conf and not inetd.conf? is it because it is version 7.0?

Thanks

Xinetd is sort of an "upgraded" version of inetd with all your services appearing as files in /etc/xinetd.d/. In each file (named after the service in question) you will see all the options. Just change what you need (usually just enabling the service) and restart xinetd and all should be well.

HOpe this helps
