I thought inetd or xinetd are part of the default installation on Ubuntu. However separate packages of [x]inetd should be provided. On CentOS (and RedHat) that's the case. Bundling of inetd with the unsecure telnetd is very odd imho. > there was also an update-inetd script present in the default ubuntu > installation, but that one didn't help at all even though i enabled > services using, there was no inetd actually running. Is it a bug in the ubuntu installation? I use CVS+[x]inetd for years and always [x]inetd worked. > off topic: i just noticed that xinetd isn't installed by default > either and i read that xinetd is a more secure replacement of > inetd....interesting. I had expected that Ubuntu ships the xinetd by default. Best regards, Tilo Riemer
