Title: replacing rlogin and rsh in inetd
As most people have said you should run sshd as a standalone process.  However, I also add a backup sshd port on all my servers through inetd in case the process dies for some reason.  To do this you need to do two things:
 
1) Add the port number (not 22) to your services file or any nis/nisplus tables.
 
2) Add something like this to your /etc/inetd.conf file:
    sshd    stream    tcp    nowait    root    /usr/local/sbin/sshd    sshd -i
 
Send a HUP to inetd (and possibly the init process to re-read /etc/services) and you're good to go.

Subject: replacing rlogin and rsh in inetd

Could anyone lead me in the right direction for replacing rsh and rlogin services with ssh. I've read the man pages for ssh, sshd, inetd.conf and feel like I understand the concepts but am missing some key info. What would an inetd.conf file with these services replaced look like?
