Since RedHat 7.0 inetd has been replaced by xinetd, which has some really
useful features. For example, you can now specify on which address/nic the
listening port shall be bound. The file /etc/services is just a mapping from
service name to tcp/udp port number, just like /etc/rpc does for rpc program
number to tcp/udp port number. So, if you really want to have control about
listening ports controlled by xinetd, the right place to configure are the
files:
- /etc/xinetd.conf
- /etc/xinetd.d/* (for each service one file)
Check also all the init scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d and the system's pre-init
script /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and the system's post-init script
/etc/rc.d/rc.local.
The ports 12345, 31337 and so on in your nmap output are DEFINITELY
not default for a RH 7.0 installation out of the box !
