WOW! Thanks dude! You're my hero! YES - I would *GREATLY* appreciate: "edit to make appropriate to xinetd (available on request)"
So I am hereby *requesting* it :-) It still *seems* like I did everything here (and more than once I might add) - and that I *should* have got it working. Of course I will start fresh and follow your instructions *to the letter* and then backstep to see why I wasn't able to get it working on my own. The one thing of course that I would never have thought to do would be to copy and modify sshd to xinetd. Not exactly *intuitive*! I'll be anxious to see if this was indeed the one indispensible thing I needed to do. Again - appreciate all the assistance. I need xinetd to maximize security until we can get secure shell working from the mainframe (don't hold your breath!). Ah well, some folks just like liv'in in the past!

( or 2003) had time to try this today, works fine. steps were, 1) clean install included inetutils, xinetd, sysvinit ,chkconfig and initscripts (and vim but whatever editor you like ;) 2) run /usr/bin/init-config, NOT overwriting any config files, just to install init as a service. 3) copy /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd to /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd and edit to make appropriate to xinetd (available on request) 4) cd /etc/rc.d/init.d then /usr/sbin/chkconfig --add xinetd 5) net stop init net then net start init 6) $ telnet localhost Trying 127.0.0.1...
