Xinetd is a powerful inetd replacement. Xinetd has access control mechanisms,
|
|
extensive logging capabilities, the ability to make services available based
|
|
on time, can place limits on the number of servers that can be started,
|
|
and has a configurable defence mechanisms to protect against port scanners,
|
|
among other things.
|
|
|
|
Before starting xinetd, you may wish to switch inetd off if it is running.
|
|
To do this:
|
|
|
|
Do a "ps x" as root and look up the pid of inetd. Then do "kill <pid of inetd>"
|
|
|
|
Stop inetd from starting at boot: chmod 0644 /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd
|
|
Start xinetd on boot by adding the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
|
|
|
|
if [ ! -x /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd ] && [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.xinetd ]; then
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.xinetd start
|
|
fi
|
|
Ensure that /etc/rc.d/{rc.local,rc.xinetd} have executable permissions.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can avoid all of the edits to rc.local:
|
|
mv /etc/rc.d/rc.xinetd /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd
|
