RE: [newbie] - inetd.conf file?
I did a find as root from root. I have an /etc/xinetd.d/ but there is no xinetd.conf or inetd.conf anywhere. Nor is there a daemon process for either. I guess I should explain why I'm looking: cvs. The cvs manual section 2.9.2 says to edit the /etc/inetd.conf file if one wants to use the pserver. I'm trying to use my linux box as the client ... the server (where the repo is) is running HP-UX. When I try to checkout for example, I get the error unknown command cvspserver. I looked in /etc/cvs/cvs.conf and /etc/xinetd.d/cvs and everything looks ok as far as it goes. Jeanie Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

If you browsed through /etc you found a lot of directories, then you'll come
across a load of 'text' files. The ones that look sort of like pages with a
corner turned down if you use the Icon View in your file manager.
xinetd.conf is there but you may not have looked far enough once you saw the
xinetd directory. It isn't in there.
I always use the KQuick Browserdirectorymore (as needed)file reported to
be the one I need method from the desktop to find things so that I'll
remember where the devil to look the next time. It's one of those men are
visually linked things I guess. :-)
This is an example of the file in question:
#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/
defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type= SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}

By the way 2.4.4-60 seems the latest and it was available from rpmfind. A point of clarification, xinetd for ipv6 is not installed by default. xinetd is install almost always by default if you choose any type of networking packages or groups. Mandrake/RPMS/xinetd-2.3.4-4mdk.i586.rpm -- first CD Mandrake/8.2/CD/Mandrake/RPMS3/xinetd-ipv6-2.3.4-4mdk.i586.rpm -- 3rd CD of the download edition. For the Pwoerpack I'm not sure which CD it's on. From what I've observed on this and a couple other lists that the packages are rearranged on the boxed sets differently from the download ISO's. I find it hard to belive that CD1 (or even 2 for that matter) should differ across packs, but I only have the download edition this time around and can't confirm this. Just check out an ftp mirror. Example: mirrors.secsup.org/Mandrake/8.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ both the xinetd and xinetd-ipv6 packages are there. Download the one you want and install away. -- Cheers dg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] - inetd.conf file?
Actually, this has nothing to do with the version of the kernel you are running--it has to do with the version of the distro you are running. Inetd was replaced by xinetd in Mandrake 7.2, relevant files include /etc/xinetd.conf, and the directory /etc/xinetd.d/ .
