Hey, I'm not on the list, so I have no idea if this has already been posted, but I had some problems with the xinetd update for RedHat 7.3 (xinetd-2.3.9-0.73.i386.rpm).
If you install this, it would be a good idea to '/etc/init.d/xinetd restart' to make sure it works. If it does, just ignore this message. :P The previous version of xinetd's init script did not have this check -- # Check that we can write to it... so non-root users stop here [ -w /etc/passwd ] || exit 1 On my system, this file is immutable. With sh-utils-2.0.11-14, this test failed, so xinetd did NOT start. I tried on debian (sh-utils 2.0.12) and it worked fine. I didn't look into it further than this, but I'm assuming a check was added to 'test' to see if the file was immutable. You could try this for yourself -- su cd /tmp touch somefile ; chattr +i somefile ; test -w somefile || echo "failed" If this fails, and you've installed the update, you should either update the above test in /etc/init.d/xinetd to use -O instead of -w, replace that test with a 'id' test or just comment it completely.
