E What is xinetd?
xinetd is an enhanced version of inetd (internet daemon), which is
basically a wrapper for other internet daemons. You can use xinetd
to run FTP, BIND, Apache, etc.
The benefit as opposed to standalone is that since everything goes

Try 'type time', and then 'which time', and you'll see the
difference.
